Critical perspectives on predictive policing: anticipating proof?

Vasilis Galis (Editor), Helene O.I. Gundhus (Editor), Antonis Vradis (Editor)

Research output: Book/Report › Book

Abstract

Taking a critical approach, this book advances understanding of the social, legal and ethical aspects of digitalisation in law enforcement and the reliance on data-driven tools to predict and prevent crime. It shows how the proliferation of data analytics challenges citizens’ rights, at a time when what counts as ‘safety’ or ‘policing’ is being fundamentally transformed.
