This interdisciplinary volume critically explores how the
ever-increasing use of automated systems is changing policing,
criminal justice systems, and military operations at the national
and international level. The book examines the ways in which
automated systems are beneficial to society, while addressing the
risks they represent for human rights. This book starts with a
historical overview of how different types of knowledge have
transformed crime control and the security domain, comparing those
epistemological shifts with the current shift caused by knowledge
produced with high-tech information technology tools such as big
data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The
first part explores the use of automated systems, such as
predictive policing and platform policing, in law enforcement. The
second part analyzes the use of automated systems, such as
algorithms used in sentencing and parole decisions, in courts of
law. The third part examines the use and misuse of automated
systems for surveillance and social control. The fourth part
discusses the use of lethal (semi)autonomous weapons systems in
armed conflicts. An essential read for researchers, politicians,
and advocates interested in the use and potential misuse of
automated systems in crime control, this diverse volume draws
expertise from such fields as criminology, law, sociology,
philosophy, and anthropology.
