ONCE A CRIMINAL,
ALWAYS A CRIMINAL • 68 % become re-offenders within 3 years, 
 77% in 5 years • People report to finding it hard to fit back into “normal” life once being in prison for a while • Employment becomes more difficult SOURCE: US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

COMPAS RISK ASSESSMENT Recidivism Score is used to determine whether someone will commit another crime within two years. SOURCE: PRACTITIONER’S GUIDE TO COMPAS SCORES

WHAT MAKES COMPAS FAIL? • No transparency • It doesn’t adapt over time • People use it without asking questions • Including whether this is the right place 
 for an algorithm at all. CAN ONLY EVALUATE THE PAST SOURCE: WEAPONS OF MATH DESTRUCTION

evidence that a decision would be based upon.”

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

APPLICATIONS FOR GOOD ✨ ✨

CURRENT APPLICATION

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN 
 THEY’RE OFFLINE? BUT…

@sarah_edo backgroundSync && Service Workers • Alert them when they are offline • When they’re offline, queue the messages • When it’s back up, send them out 
 (even if the browser tab is closed)

@sarah_edo

@sarah_edo window . addEventListener ( ' online ' , vm . isOnline ); window . addEventListener ( ' offline ' , vm . isOnline );

 will still be processed soon as you are 
 connected.

@sarah_edo Register the service worker when a request is made requestButton (type) {

@sarah_edo Fetch the URL, and postMessage back to the client const
