    Computer software intended to predict where and when crimes would occur has been scrapped by a police force.

    Kent Police was the first force in England and Wales to introduce the "predictive policing" system in 2013.

    Supt John Phillips said it was "challenging" to demonstrate whether the system had enabled police to reduce crime.

    There are five McDonalds Hamburger joints in my City... There is no way a piece of software can predict which one will get robbed first...
