		AI and criminology

I totally agree with DW's article in net.crypt.  Computer techniques
would be used to keep track of "political criminals".  Middle class
intellectuals are far more vulnerable to this sort of control than are
street criminals and drifters.

Already, right wing organizations use this technology to keep track of
people they consider politically dangerous, and while the government is
not allowed to do this, they have received information from these
organizations under the table.  In some cases, victims are chosen
simply by correlating magazine subscription information.
