Abstract

"This report describes the results of the Law Enforcement Futuring Workshop, which was held at RAND's Washington Office in Arlington, Virginia, from July 22 to 25, 2014. The objective of this workshop was to identify high-priority technology needs for law enforcement based on consideration of current and future trends in society, technology, and law enforcement over a ten- to 20-year time period. During the workshop, participants developed sets of future scenarios, constructed pathways from the present to alternative futures, and considered how law enforcement use of technology might affect these pathways. They then identified technology needs (including training and changes in policies or practice) that, if addressed, could enable pathways to desirable futures or prevent or mitigate the effects of pathways to undesirable futures. On the final days of the workshop, the technology needs were prioritized using a Delphi method. The output of this workshop described in the report included ten future scenarios and 30 technology needs. The technology needs fell into three general categories--technology-related knowledge and practice, information sharing and use, and technology research and development--and were placed into three priority tiers"--Back cover.

Abstract

"Even though there is a growing interest in predictive policing, to date there have been few, if any, formal evaluations of these programs. This report documents an assessment of a predictive policing effort in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 2012, which was conducted to evaluate the crime reduction effects of policing guided by statistical predictions. RAND researchers led multiple interviews and focus groups with the Shreveport Police Department throughout the course of the trial to document the implementation of the statistical predictive and prevention models. In addition to a basic assessment of the process, the report shows the crime impacts and costs directly attributable to the strategy. It is hoped that this will provide a fuller picture for police departments considering if and how a predictive policing strategy should be adopted. There was no statistically significant change in property crime in the experimental districts that applied the predictive models compared with the control districts; therefore, overall, the intervention was deemed to have no effect. There are both statistical and substantive possibilities to explain this null effect. In addition, it is likely that the predictive policing program did not cost any more than the status quo."--"Abstract" on web page.

Abstract

Comment améliorer « sa » police ? En regardant ce qui se fait « ailleurs » ; en l’adoptant, parfois. À rebours des historiographies nationales, ce livre fait découvrir l’histoire méconnue des circulations internationales des polices en Europe et à travers l’Atlantique. Il donne à voir les passeurs qui les animent comme les modèles qui se construisent dans les échanges, les transferts, les rejets ou les adaptations des systèmes policiers. Depuis l’Anglais Mildmay révélant le fonctionnement de la police parisienne en 1763 jusqu’à l’Américain Fosdick enquêtant sur la police des capitales européennes en 1913, des observateurs voyagent, étudient et décrivent les polices étrangères. Des administrateurs imposent des réformes justifiées par la supériorité supposée de ces polices voisines, d’autres les refusent énergiquement. Le débat sur la police déborde les limites des États. Neuf études de cas, de Buenos Aires à Paris, de Lisbonne à Rome, de Londres à Berlin, de Bruxelles, Genève ou New York, illustrent la richesse de cette histoire connectée des polices entre Ancien Régime et coopération moderne des polices contemporaines.

Abstract

"Are algorithms ruling the world today? Is death dished out by artificial intelligence? Are social media companies able to manipulate elections? As we are confronted with public and academic anxieties about unprecedented changes, this book offers a different analytical prism to investigate these transformations as more mundane and fraught. Aradau and Blanke develop conceptual and methodological tools to understand how algorithmic operations shape the government of self and other. While disperse and messy, these operations are held together by an ascendant algorithmic reason. Through a global perspective on algorithmic operations, the book helps us understand how algorithmic reason redraws boundaries and reconfigures differences. The book explores the emergence of algorithmic reason through rationalities, materialisations, and interventions. It traces how algorithmic rationalities of decomposition, recomposition, and partitioning are materialised in the construction of dangerous others, the power of platforms, and the production of economic value. The book shows how political interventions to make algorithms governable encounter friction, refusal, and resistance. The theoretical perspective on algorithmic reason is developed through qualitative and digital methods to investigate scenes and controversies that range from mass surveillance and the Cambridge Analytica scandal in the UK to predictive policing in the US, and from the use of facial recognition in China and drone targeting in Pakistan to the regulation of hate speech in Germany. Algorithmic Reason offers an alternative to dystopia and despair through a transdisciplinary approach made possible by the authors' backgrounds, which span the humanities, social sciences, and computer sciences"--
