Police body-worn cameras (BWCs) are at the cutting edge of
policing. They have sparked important conversations about the
proper role and extent of police in society and about balancing
security, oversight, accountability, privacy, and surveillance in
our modern world. Police on Camera address the conceptual and
empirical evidence surrounding the use of BWCs by police officers
in societies around the globe, offering a variety of differing
opinions from experts in the field. The book provides the reader
with conceptual and empirical analyses of the role and impact of
police body-worn cameras in society. These analyses are
complimented by invited commentaries designed to open up dialogue
and generate debate on these important social issues. The book
offers informed, critical commentary to the ongoing debates about
the implications that BWCs have for society in various parts of the
world, with special attention to issues of police accountability
and discretion, privacy, and surveillance. This book is designed to
be accessible to a broad audience, and is targeted at scholars and
students of surveillance, law and policy, and the police, as well
as policymakers and others interested in how surveillance
technologies are impacting our modern world and criminal justice
institutions.

Today, public space has become a fruitful venue for surveillance of
many kinds. Emerging surveillance technologies used by governments,
corporations, and even individual members of the public are
reshaping the very nature of physical public space. Especially in
urban environments, the ability of individuals to remain private or
anonymous is being challenged. Surveillance, Privacy, and Public
Space problematizes our traditional understanding of 'public
space'. The chapter authors explore intertwined concepts to develop
current privacy theory and frame future scholarly debate on the
regulation of surveillance in public spaces. This book also
explores alternative understandings of the impacts that modern
living and technological progress have on the experience of being
in public, as well as the very nature of what public space really
is. Representing a range of disciplines and methods, this book
provides a broad overview of the changing nature of public space
and the complex interactions between emerging forms of surveillance
and personal privacy in these public spaces. It will appeal to
scholars and students in a variety of academic disciplines,
including sociology, surveillance studies, urban studies,
philosophy, law, communication and media studies, political
science, and criminology.

Police Visibility presents empirically grounded research into how
police officers experience and manage the information politics of
surveillance and visibility generated by the introduction of body
cameras into their daily routines and the increasingly common
experience of being recorded by civilian bystanders. Newell
elucidates how these activities intersect with privacy, free
speech, and access to information law and argues that rather than
being emancipatory systems of police oversight, body-worn cameras
are an evolution in police image work and state surveillance
expansion. Throughout the book, he catalogs how surveillance
generates information, the control of which creates and facilitates
power and potentially fuels state domination. The antidote, he
argues, is robust information law and policy that puts the power to
monitor and regulate the police squarely in the hands of citizens.
