This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of Predictive Policing and its implications for law enforcement transformation in Indonesia, based on an extensive review of its global applications, benefits, and challenges. The study uses qualitative literature and international case study review methods to assess the impact and complexity of implementing digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and big data analytics within a Predictive Policing framework. The results of this review highlight that while Predictive Policing offers significant potential for proactive crime prevention and increased operational efficiency, its implementation is consistently fraught with critical legal, ethical, and technical challenges, including regulatory gaps, risks of algorithmic bias, and data privacy concerns, which are particularly relevant to Indonesia. The findings underscore that public trust and police legitimacy in the context of adopting such technologies are strongly influenced by transparency, strong accountability mechanisms, and community involvement in shaping their use. This study contributes to the growing discourse on digital policing in developing countries and culminates in practical policy recommendations designed to guide the Indonesian police towards the development and implementation of Predictive Policing models that are effective, efficient, and fundamentally respectful of legal and human rights principles.
