For years we have lived in a post-crime society and as we venture into 2017, it will become evident that the post-crime society will still exist, however, it will be the pre-crime society that is ideologically terrifying and very real.

The logic of security dictates earlier and earlier interventions to reduce opportunity — we have heard that this is why we need and are implementing a more advanced surveillance apparatus.
