Predictive policing has been used in [[the Netherlands]].<ref name="AP Pushback" />
In [[Italy]], as part of a long research project on urban insecurity phenomena born in the year 2000, [https://www.xlaw.it/presentazione/index_eng.asp XLAW] an artificial intelligence tool was developed that allowed to officially test the Predictive Police in thirteen Italian cities. The experiment was promoted by the [[Polizia di Stato|Italian State Police]] thanks also to the contribution for the independent supervision of the work of two universities [[University of Naples Federico II|Federico II]] and [[Parthenope University of Naples|Parthenope]]. Several scientific articles signed by authoritative academics validate the method and results of the experiment testifying the fact that this experiment did not impact with the known criticalities of discrimination because [https://www.xlaw.it/presentazione/index_eng.asp XLAW] is not concerned with the repression of crimes and the imprisonment of the authors but exclusively with prevention. [https://www.xlaw.it/presentazione/index_eng.asp XLAW] would favor the application of the Predictive Police as a risk assessment model and its long use shifts the strategic construct of the control action from a restorative view of the damage to a probabilistic view of risk, therefore from a logic of running after problems and effects that they generate typical of the permanent emergency, to one that works on prevention schemes.
