Policing and Intelligence in the Global Big Data Era, Volume I

Policing and Intelligence in the Global Big Data Era, Volume I , the first of a two volume set, presents a rich and unique collection of global perspectives on data-driven predictive technologies and the expansion and use of surveillance apparatuses in policing and intelligence, both public and private. Centered around the notion of 'algorithmic governance', this volume explores various practices of abstract and intelligence-led policing within the context of surveillance and regulatory capitalism. Each chapter interrogates these concepts as much as realities on the ground as they play out across the globe from Russia, USA, India, Brazil to Denmark, Germany and Norway. The volume offers a unique insight into the ways in which technologies and data-driven practices from facial recognition, predictive algorithms, to generative AI are reshaping cultures of policing both within and beyond police proper. Particular attention is paid to the simultaneous privatization and pluralization policing and intelligence and to the proliferation of new intelligence actors. Academics, students and readers interested in the fields of criminology, social anthropology, critical algorithm.

Contributes to the ongoing debates on predictive and intelligence-led policing Explores policing and surveillance in a global context Combines theoretical and empirical contributions
