用生成模型模拟警力部署偏见,发现系统性种族差异在多地持续存在。

Unmasking Algorithmic Bias in Predictive Policing: A GAN-Based Simulation Framework with Multi-City Temporal Analysis

  • 构建GAN与巡逻检测模型结合的仿真框架,追踪犯罪到执法的全链条偏见传播
  • 巴尔的摩年均偏见指数达15714,芝加哥黑人被检出率低至22%,基尼系数长期0.43-0.62
  • 仅靠数据去偏无法消除结构性不公,警力部署是影响结果最敏感因素

基于算法预测犯罪并调度警力的预测性警务系统在美国多城广泛部署,但其如何编码并放大种族差异仍缺乏量化理解。本文提出可复现的仿真框架,结合生成对抗网络(GAN)与噪声或巡逻检测模型,衡量从犯罪发生到执法接触的全过程种族偏见传播。利用巴尔的摩2017–2019年超过14.5万条一级犯罪记录、芝加哥2022年超23.3万条记录,并融合美国人口普查(ACS)人口数据,我们在264个城市-年度观测中计算四项月度偏见指标:差异影响比(DIR)、人口平等差距、吉尼系数及综合偏见放大评分。实验显示巴尔的摩检测模式存在极端且逐年波动的偏见,2019年平均年均DIR高达15714;芝加哥黑人居民被检出率偏低,DIR为0.22;所有条件下吉尼系数维持在0.43至0.62之间。进一步表明,条件表型生成对抗网络(CTGAN)去偏方法仅能部分重分配检测率,无法消除结构性差异,需配合政策干预。社会经济回归分析确认社区种族构成与检测概率高度相关(白人占比相关系数r=0.83,黑人占比r=-0.81)。敏感性分析显示,结果对警力部署水平最敏感。代码与数据已公开于该仓库。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Predictive policing systems that direct patrol resources based on algorithmically generated crime forecasts have been widely deployed across US cities, yet their tendency to encode and amplify racial disparities remains poorly understood in quantitative terms. We present a reproducible simulation framework that couples a Generative Adversarial Network GAN with a Noisy OR patrol detection model to measure how racial bias propagates through the full enforcement pipeline from crime occurrence to police contact. Using 145000 plus Part 1 crime records from Baltimore 2017 to 2019 and 233000 plus records from Chicago 2022, augmented with US Census ACS demographic data, we compute four monthly bias metrics across 264 city year mode observations: the Disparate Impact Ratio DIR, Demographic Parity Gap, Gini Coefficient, and a composite Bias Amplification Score. Our experiments reveal extreme and year variant bias in Baltimores detected mode, with mean annual DIR up to 15714 in 2019, moderate under detection of Black residents in Chicago DIR equals 0.22, and persistent Gini coefficients of 0.43 to 0.62 across all conditions. We further demonstrate that a Conditional Tabular GAN CTGAN debiasing approach partially redistributes detection rates but cannot eliminate structural disparity without accompanying policy intervention. Socioeconomic regression analysis confirms strong correlations between neighborhood racial composition and detection likelihood Pearson r equals 0.83 for percent White and r equals negative 0.81 for percent Black. A sensitivity analysis over patrol radius, officer count, and citizen reporting probability reveals that outcomes are most sensitive to officer deployment levels. The code and data are publicly available at this repository.
