Predict and Surveil: Data, Discretion, and the Future of Policing

Predict and Surveil: The Exponential Expansion of Criminal Justice Surveillance is a groundbreaking examination of the growing role of big data in law enforcement.

This book provides an unprecedented inside look at how police use predictive analytics to deploy resources, identify suspects, and conduct investigations.

With original interviews and ethnographic observations, Brayne reveals how algorithmic control transforms police organizational practices and reproduces existing patterns of social inequality.

Although big data analytics holds potential to reduce bias and increase efficiency, it also challenges privacy and civil liberties.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, law enforcement, and social justice.
