Cleaning & greening the city: AI-imaginations of positive safety
The expanding use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in public safety has largely centered on managing ‘threats’ and ‘risks,’ while its potential to foster ‘care’ and ‘belonging’—key aspects from a Positive Safety perspective—remains underexplored. To narrow this gap, this study empirically researches Lombardijen, a neighborhood in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with notably low subjective public safety perceptions. It employs a Photovoice-to-AI method…
Surveillance experiences of extinction rebellion activists and police: Unpacking the technologization of Dutch protest policing
Recent years have witnessed an intensifying debate on the deployment of emerging surveillance technologies in protests. Often discussed in terms of “chilling effects”—where activists self-censor due to fear of surveillance repercussions—there's limited research on its effects on both activists and law enforcement. This study explores the technologization of protest policing, moving beyond the oversimplified cat-and-mouse game analogy, to examine …
Studying Surveillance AI-cologies in Public Safety: How AI Is in the World and the World in AI
Technological surveillance for the sake of safeguarding public safety (e.g., cameras, sensors, mobile phones, OSINT) pervades the lives of individuals on many levels. In this article, we advance the idea that the addition of AI changes the way surveillance ecologies function and thus deserves to spawn its own concept: the surveillance AI-cology. Surveillance AI-cologies are made up of interconnected collections of disparate actors (technological,…
Making Smart Things Strange Again: Using Walking as a Method for Studying Subjective Experiences of Smart City Surveillance
Smart cities are commonly seen as places that are defined by surveillance because of their reliance on vast amounts of digital data to improve urban management challenges. Although the infrastructures and technologies that enable smart city surveillance pervade multitudinous urban spaces and everyday practices, they are often “hiding in plain sight,” going unnoticed in the bustle of everyday life. Hence, fostering research settings where citizens…
In search of the silver‐lining: Police officers' attributions and responses to stakeholder critique
Tensions between police organizations and (community) stakeholders have taken center stage in recent years, with an escalation in protests and divisive rhetoric observed in many countries. Using attribution theory, this study examines how police officers interpret negative stakeholder feedback and how these interpretations shape their behavioral responses. Qualitative analysis based on 148 interviews with European police officers shows that offic…
Who is responsible for customers’ privacy? Effects of first versus third party handling of privacy contracts on continuance intentions
E-commerce data management has become an extensive network of interrelated players that links companies providing goods or services (first parties) with companies that analyse, manage or otherwise use customers’ data (third parties). In consequence, privacy is now the combined responsibility of first and third parties. We introduce the concept of privacy contract to investigate the effect of first versus third party privacy handling on customer r…

Collective sensemaking in the local response to a grand challenge: Recovery, alleviation and change-oriented responses to a refugee crisis
Grand societal challenges such as forced displacement are extreme and complex issues that are challenging to individuals and might seem insurmountable. How do local actors make sense of, position themselves in and act on such challenges? We conducted a case study of the collective sensemaking narratives of 71 actors involved in the refugee crisis on Lesbos, Greece. We elaborate how actors make sense of their role in the local response to this gra…
Factors influencing cross-border knowledge sharing by police organisations: An integration of ten European case studies
The globalisation of crime means there is an increasingly vital need for effective sharing of knowledge by police organisations across international borders. However, identifying the complexities and challenges of this aspect of international collaboration has been relatively neglected in previous research. The research reported in this paper therefore set out to identify the major barriers and facilitators of international knowledge sharing. Res…
Citizen repertoires of smart urban safety: Perspectives from Rotterdam, the Netherlands
This article provides empirical research about the perspectives of citizens of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on the emergent phenomenon of ‘smart urban safety’, which advocates advanced uses of digital technologies and data for urban safety management, and is gaining currency in thinking about urban futures. While smart cities affect many dimensions of city management, applications to safety management belong to the most controversial, revealing im…
When the going gets tough: Employee reactions to large‐scale organizational change and the role of employee Machiavellianism
Large‐scale, long‐term change initiatives take time to unfold, which can be a source of uncertainty and strain. Investigating the initial 19 months of a large‐scale change, we argue that during these stages, employees' change‐related beliefs become more negative over time, which negatively affects their work engagement and, ultimately, increases their turnover intentions. Furthermore, we investigate the impact of a trait, Machiavellianism, on cha…
