Future Crimes by Marc Goodman
It was a talk that I found both fascinating and terrifying. While Goodman thinks (and worries) about what criminals will do with 3-D printing, flying drones and open access to our DNA, he also believes that the same open spirit could be used to help law enforcement keep up - and even crowdsource policing. At TEDGlobal 2012 he gave a talk on some of the ways this could play out - showing examples of how drug cartels and terrorists could (and already do) use new technology to serve criminal purposes.

Marc Goodman studies how to prevent future crimes - not in the Minority Report sense, but by thinking about the ways that current and imagined technologies could be used to commit crimes.
