The growth of technology allows us to imagine entirely new ways of
committing, combating and thinking about criminality, criminals,
police, courts, victims and citizens. Technology offers not only
new tools for committing and fighting crime, but new ways to look
for, unveil, label crimes and new ways to know, watch, prosecute
and punish criminals. This book attempts to disentangle the
realities, the myths, the politics, the theories and the practices
of our new, technology-assisted, era of crime and policing.
Technocrime, policing and surveillance explores new areas of
technocrime and technopolicing, such as credit card fraud, the use
of DNA and fingerprint databases, the work of media in creating new
crimes and new criminals, as well as the "proper" way of doing
policing, and the everyday work of police investigators and
intelligence officers, as seen through their own eyes. These
chapters offer new avenues for studying technology, crime and
control, through innovative social science methodologies. This book
builds on the work of Leman-Langlois' last book Technocrime, and
brings together fresh perspectives from eminent scholars to
consider how our relationship with technology and institutions of
social control are being reframed, with particular emphasis on
policing and surveillance. Technocrime, policing and surveillance
will be of interest to those studying criminal justice, policing
and the sociology of surveillance as well as practitioners involved
with the legal aspects of law enforcement technologies, , domestic
security government departments and consumer advocacy groups.
