What noun can be used for persons who are likely to commit a crime? The scenario is that the person might have never committed a crime in their life but if you analyze the current state of things in their life, you’d conclude that they are most probably going to commit a crime in the foreseeable future.

Usage:

Just like sci-fi movies, based on predictive modeling and data analysis, we can identify _______. (word for those who are likely to commit a crime)

Words considered but that don’t fit:

suspect — A person thought to be guilty of a crime or offense

perpetrator — A person who carries out a harmful, illegal, or immoral act.

[ODO]

I guess both words signify that the crime has already occurred. Please correct me if I am wrong.

How about precriminal?

The OP’s example:

Just like sci-fi movies, based on predictive modeling and data
analysis, we can identify precriminals (word for those who are
likely to commit a crime).

Precriminal is a natural extension of precrime, which Dictionary.com defines as follows:

precrime: of or relating to law-enforcement efforts and strategies to deter crime by predicting when and where criminal activity will
occur.

So precriminal pertains to law-enforcement efforts and strategies to deter crime by predicting who is likely to engage in criminal activity for the first time, i.e., who is «primed» to commit criminal offenses.

Postscript: For interesting background reading on precrime, google precrime.

Person at risk (in this context: to commit a crime) or simply potential criminal. The term person at risk is suitable for a metric: a risk of 75% in the next 18 months, etc.

In his article Juvenile Diversion and the Get-Tough Movement in Japan, presented at conferences in Muenster, Germany and then in Nashville, Tennessee in 2004, before being published in Ritsumeikan University’s Law Review in 2005, Dr. KUZUNO Hiroyuki, currently Dean and Professor of Law at Hitotsubashi University, cited Japan’s Juvenile Law of 1948 (“modeled after the Standard Juvenile Court Act of
1943 in the United States”), which in Article 3 (on page 3 of the linked Law Review article) includes the following mention and definition of pre-offender:

(3) pre-offender; a juvenile under 20 who is likely to commit an
offense or act in violation of penal provisions, in view of his or her
character or circumstances, because of specific factors.

Although the “circumstances” and “specific factors” are unspecified, they might include some of the ones that you originally included parenthetically in your question (and they might have been left unspecified in the Law for the same reason you edited them out of your question).

«Just like sci-fi movies, based on predictive modeling and data analysis, we can identify pre-offenders.»

There is reprobate and rogue, both of which describe an unprincipled person (which is also a characteristic of a criminal).

Delinquent is typically, but not necessarily, a young person, given that there is also juvenile delinquent. Finally there is the term «at-risk» usually in reference to youth who could become delinquents.

Based on predictive modeling and data analysis, we can identify potential offenders (word for those who are likely to commit a crime). Or high risk individuals. In the latter case, you’d need the context to know exactly what is meant.

You can also get the idea across in a simple way, with a little rewriting: Based on predictive modeling and data analysis, we can identify certain likely profiles. (As some comments pointed out, what you are talking about is called «profiling».)

If I just go by your description of the word you’re looking for, without considering your example sentence, I would also suggest:

shifty character (a little old-fashioned, but it still works for me)

suspicious character

Side question for OP: what does sci-fi have to do with this?

    I often use «involve» but saw that the word «implicate» exists…

    Beware of thesauri! Remember, no two words are exactly synonymous. We mostly use «implicate» to indicate that it seems that someone has been involved in a crime or some other unethical/immoral action.

    I think it’s often better to use the words you know and understand. Sometimes, when you attempt to use a fancy new word, you can create some unexpected and unwanted connotations — especially in English, since we have so many words.

    If you will check the dictionary here for implicate, you will see that the first two definitions show the word’s pejorative definitions … and that’s how we generally use it.

    I don’t think that’s your intention.

    I totally agree Lucas-sp about using a fancy new word you have just learnt, but that is because one wants to widen/broad his vocabulary. :rolleyes:

    NO, clearly that´s not my intention sdgraham, :) .

    So, definitely I have to use «involve», don´t I?. I don´t know what I would do without so helpful people like you!!. :eek:

    Hello,

    I trying to make this sentence:

    «They are trying to carry out that policy to implicate/involve the private sector in the running of several public affairs»

    Should I used «implicate» or instead «involve»?. I also am doubting whether I should use the gerund (implicating/involving). In my opinion, as a non-native speaker, «implicate» or «implicating» fits in much properly.

    Thanks in advance!

    It depends what you want to say. The words ‘implicate’ and ‘involve’ have different meanings (you can look them up in the Wordreference dictionary).

    «to implicate» means to

    show

    to be involved.

    I don’t see how you could use the gerund here. Could you write the sentence in full to show what you mean?

    Thanks Biffo!!

    Yes, I checked the dictionary but sometimes is not that easy to figure out words that seems so similar.

    What do you mean «in full» ? . I already wrote the whole sentence, if that is what you refer to. :)

    If you ‘implicate’ someone, it means that you show that they were involved in something, e.g

    The police found some evidence that implicated John in the crime —> The police found some evidence that showed that John was involved in the crime.

    I meant can you write a full sentence using the gerund. You cannot simply substitute «to involve» with «to involving». I presume you have some other formulation. :)

    I am trying to figure out your example about the police. I am sure that when I read tomorrow all your replies I´ll understand it much better because sometimes I am so much into something that I need a bit of «fresh» air or just make up 4 sentences , things like those.

    As for the gerund, I don´t have other formulations, just that sometimes (to my amazement) I see «to + gerund» , because I thought that after «to» always came «infinitive» and not «gerund». :)

    Can you give an example that you have seen that uses ‘to’ with the gerund? I can’t think of a plausible one. I expect it is possible but not as a substitute for the infinitive.

    Well, I really don´t remember now Biffo, but whenever I saw it I got a bit puzzled. …I just found this one (but I know of others): «I am looking forward to seeing you» . But I know of others I can´t remember now.

    Thanks alot Biffo!

    I realise now that there are two separate questions in this thread, one about the meaning of «to implicate» and one about the use of gerunds!

    I wonder if you would like to start a separate thread about «I am looking forward to seeing you»:) ?

    • #13

    Yes, I should (start another thread) . Thanks once more Biffo for your priceless assistance!! :rolleyes:
