Tracing the rise of digital computing in policing and punishment
and its harmful impact on criminalized communities of color The
U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates that law enforcement
agencies have access to more than 100 million names stored in
criminal history databases. In some cities, 80 percent of the black
male population is registered in these databases. Digitize and
Punish explores the long history of digital computing and criminal
justice, revealing how big tech, computer scientists, university
researchers, and state actors have digitized carceral governance
over the past forty years-with devastating impact on poor
communities of color. Providing a comprehensive study of the use of
digital technology in American criminal justice, Brian Jefferson
shows how the technology has expanded the wars on crime and drugs,
enabling our current state of mass incarceration and further
entrenching the nation's racialized policing and punishment. After
examining how the criminal justice system conceptualized the
benefits of computers to surveil criminalized populations,
Jefferson focuses on New York City and Chicago to provide a
grounded account of the deployment of digital computing in urban
police departments. By highlighting the intersection of policing
and punishment with big data and web technology-resulting in the
development of the criminal justice system's latest tool, crime
data centers-Digitize and Punish makes clear the extent to which
digital technologies have transformed and intensified the nature of
carceral power.
