In this work, Bridgette Wessels offers a unique insight into the
ways in which core public institutions and powerful organizations
develop digital communications and services within the public
realm. The book draws on her ethnographic research with the London
Metropolitan Police Service during their engagement in an
innovative project to improve communication with the public using
digital technology. As one of the largest, most advanced and highly
respected police services in the world, working in a socially,
culturally and demographically complex city, the Metropolitan
Police Service offers a highly revealing case study of technology
and the human processes which it is designed to serve. The
ethnographic research is used to develop a new theoretical and
conceptual framework for understanding the relationship between
social action and technological change, addressing the way in which
technology is socially shaped and culturally informed. The book
also discusses the role of ethnography as a tool for researching
complex multi-perspective, multi-sited networks of the innovation
of digital technologies as forms of communication in late modern
western society.
