A 'homicide prevention' system being tested in the UK aims to predict who will commit murder

Chris Jones, the director of Statewatch, told The World's Carolyn Beeler that the project sounds serious alarm bells from a human rights and civil liberties standpoint - in addition to sounding a lot like a famous science fiction plot.
