Crime and Punishment in the Future Internet is an examination of
the development and impact of digital frontier technologies (DFTs)
such as Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of things, autonomous
mobile robots, and blockchain on offending, crime control, the
criminal justice system, and the discipline of criminology. It
poses criminological, legal, ethical, and policy questions linked
to such development and anticipates the impact of DFTs on crime and
offending. It forestalls their wide-ranging consequences, including
the proliferation of new types of vulnerability, policing and other
mechanisms of social control, and the threat of pervasive and
intrusive surveillance. Two key concerns lie at the heart of this
volume. First, the book investigates the origins and development of
emerging DFTs and their interactions with criminal behaviour, crime
prevention, victimisation, and crime control. It also investigates
the future advances and likely impact of such processes on a range
of social actors: citizens, non-citizens, offenders, victims of
crime, judiciary and law enforcement, media, NGOs. This book does
not adopt technological determinism that suggests technology alone
drives social development. Yet, while it is impossible to know
where the emerging technologies are taking us, there is no doubt
that DFTs will shape the way we engage with and experience criminal
behaviour in the twenty-first century. As such, this book starts
the conversation about a range of essential topics that this
expansion brings to social sciences, and begins to decipher
challenges we will be facing in the future. An accessible and
compelling read, this book will appeal to those engaged with
criminology, sociology, politics, policymaking, and all those
interested in the impact of DFTs on the criminal justice system.
