Governing AI Decision‐Making
This article explores the growing use of algorithmic models to make or inform decisions within the public sector. Amidst a climate of accelerating investment, expanding system applicability, and rapid technical progress, it concentrates on how key jurisdictions, most prominently the “digital empires” of the United States, European Union, and China, construct the problems associated with such algorithmic systems, and how these constructions impact…
Perceptions of the Communities
Crime, Community and Locale
This title was first published in 2000: This text reports on the findings of the Communities Crime Survey, a communities-based survey carried out within Northern Ireland. The survey asked a number of questions beyond the usual remit of local crime surveys, in order to explore more fully a whole range of issues relating to the experience of living in a society where more obvious manifestations of conflict are beginning to recede and other more mun…
Algorithmic governance
We are living in an algorithmic age where mathematics and computer science are coming together in powerful new ways to influence, shape and guide our behaviour and the governance of our societies. As these algorithmic governance structures proliferate, it is vital that we ensure their effectiveness and legitimacy. That is, we need to ensure that they are an effective means for achieving a legitimate policy goal that are also procedurally fair, op…
Gov 2.0
New elements associated with Web 2.0 relating to interactivity and end‐user focus have combined with the availability of new levels of information to encourage the development of what may be termed a Gov 2.0 approach. This, in combination with recent initiatives in the modernising government programme, has emphasised new levels of public participation and engagement with government as well as a re‐engineering of public services to make them more …
Democracy, Governance and Governmentality
This article seeks to make some general points about the changing nature of constitutionalism by looking critically at the constitutional architecture of the Northern Ireland Act 1998. It argues that despite their sophistication the structures of settlement in Northern Ireland do not address fully the fundamental issues of the changing nature of power and the ethical character of constitutional transformation. The argument draws upon the governme…
Lives Less Ordinary? Crime, Communities and Policing in Northern Ireland
This article is drawn from data collected in the Community Crime Survey conducted in Northern Ireland in 1996. 1 That survey was premised on the notion that the experience of crime, victimisation, policing and related matters varied considerably across different communities in Northern Ireland. These communities were distinguished on the grounds of religious segregation/integration, socio-economic deprivation and Greater Belfast/rural divides. Th…
Government‐Voluntary Sector Compacts
In 1998 government and the main representatives of the voluntary sector in each of the four countries in the United Kingdom published ‘compacts’ on relations between government and the voluntary sector. These were joint documents, carrying forward ideas expressed by the Labour Party when in opposition, and directed at developing a new relationship for partnership with those ‘not‐for‐profit organizations’ that are involved primarily in the areas o…
Voices, Spaces, and Processes in Constitutionalism
The Case Against Constitutional Reform
Proposals for constitutional reform in the United Kingdom are examined critically. Ideas of ‘governance’ as posited by various accounts in the literature of politics are compared with the simpler idea of ‘government’ that is predicated within the reform programme. It is argued that changes in the site of public power, as well as in the reality of its exercise through a range of bodies beyond the traditional state, now provide a much more complex …

Lawyers in a Divided Society
Crime, Conflict and Counting
This paper is concerned with the levels of ordinary crime in Northern Ireland. The most recent Chief Constable's Report claims a fall in the level of serious crime and the highest overall detection rate since 1969. The authors argue that the optimism following from such figures may be misplaced. In the absence of a detailed crime survey we cannot, in the unique situation prevailing in Northern Ireland, make any assessment of the dark figure of cr…

New Strategies in the Politics of Law and Order
Crime prevention has rapidly emerged as an important new trend in the law and order debate. Crime prevention programmes now appear on the agendas of all the major political parties and some perceive this issue as being the key to the law and order question, and so of central concern to the very success of these political parties. The issue is complex enough to allow each of the parties to take up a differing perspective on both that the problem i…
