The Ontological Shift in Surveillance: Revisiting the “Surveillant Assemblage” in the Age of Facial Recognition
It has been twenty-five years since Haggerty and Ericson’s (2000) seminal article on the “surveillant assemblage” was published and since then reshaped surveillance studies, offering a conceptual framework that moved beyond Orwellian and Foucauldian metaphors towards the rhizomatic, hybrid qualities of emerging surveillance systems. Their theory remains profoundly influential. Yet the surveillance landscape has since undergone an ontological disr…
On manipulation by emotional AI: UK adults’ views and governance implications
With growing commercial, regulatory and scholarly interest in use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to profile and interact with human emotion ("emotional AI"), attention is turning to its capacity for manipulating people, relating to factors impacting on a person's decisions and behavior. Given prior social disquiet about AI and profiling technologies, surprisingly little is known on people's views on the benefits and harms of emotional AI technol…
Policing the smart home: The internet of things as ‘invisible witnesses’1
In this paper, we develop the concept of smart home devices as ‘invisible witnesses’ in everyday life. We explore contemporary examples that highlight how smart devices have been used by the police and unpack the socio-technical implications of using these devices in criminal investigations. We draw on several sociological, computing and forensics concepts to develop our argument. We consider the challenges of obtaining and interpreting trace evi…
Body-worn cameras ‘on the move’: Exploring the contextual, technical and ethical challenges in policing practice
The body-worn camera (BWC), an audio and video recording device, has been increasingly adopted by law enforcement across the globe. Drawing on a qualitative study, this paper will explore the use of these mobile devices in the UK and examine the challenges that have been faced during its implementation in two British police forces. In particular, we will discuss how these cameras move with the police officer’s bodily movements (both intentionally…
Identifying Suspicious Bodies? Historically Tracing Criminal Identification Technologies in Portugal
This article explores how criminal identification technologies evolved in Portugal since the end of the nineteenth century from anthropometric measurements to descriptive, photographic, dactyloscopic, and genetic methods. The historical trajectory of these identification technologies allows us to reflect on the continuities and discontinuities of past and current practices that aim to inscribe the individual identity as a bureaucratic category. T…
Assessing electronic immunization registries: The Pan American Health Organization experience
Objective. To develop a methodology to assess electronic immunization registries (EIRs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Latin America and the Caribbean. Methods. A team from the Immunization Unit at the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) reviewed existing methodologies to evaluate health information systems, particularly the Performance of Routine Information System Management (PRISM) framework and methodologies used to assess…
Photographing prisoners: The unworthy, unpleasant and unchanging criminal body
The use of photography in representing the criminal body has long been a focus of interest in the social sciences, especially so when exploring the historical evolution of criminal identification practices. By contributing to the emerging field of visual criminology, this article explores current practices around photography of prisoners in the everyday contexts of the prison space. Drawing on a qualitative study conducted with prisoners, prison …
Criminal Investigation Through the Eye of the Detective: Technological Innovation and Tradition
Technological elements and scientific knowledge are steadily transforming both the traditional image of the detective and the nature of contemporary police work. However, despite the potential utility of scientific methods and new technologies in criminal investigations, there are many barriers surrounding their application. We explore these barriers through a qualitative and comprehensive methodology, utilising a set of semi-structured interview…
O detetive híbrido: Inovação Tecnológica E Tradição Na Investigação Criminal
Neste artigo são exploradas as narrativas dos inspetores da PJ (Polícia Judiciária) relativamente aos processos de vigilância e identificação de suspeitos de crime. Recorrendo a uma perspetiva teórico-metodológica do tipo interpretativo e qualitativo, deseja-se mapear o sentido e compreender o significado que os inspetores da PJ atribuem às suas práticas no decurso da investigação criminal. A aplicação da ciência e da tecnologia na investigação c…
Biogenética e género na construção da intencionalidade da paternidade: O teste de DNA nas investigações judiciais de paternidade
Este artigo aborda as modalidades de intencionalidade da paternidade construídas por mulheres e homens que realizaram testes de DNA ordenados por tribunais, em Portugal, para apuramento da paternidade biológica de crianças sem 'pai oficial'. Partindo de uma perspectiva feminista, analisa-se o impacto das ideologias de género na mediação da intenção de desempenhar o papel de pai, na negociação de relações de parentesco e nos processos sociais e mo…
