So in sum: "analyzing data from Broward County, we find that optimizing for public safety yields stark racial disparities; conversely, satisfying past fairness definitions means releasing more high-risk defendants, adversely affecting public safety."

In other words, black defendants actually are more dangerous to release and there is no magic algorithm that bypasses this fact.
