The Haunting of Surveillance Studies
This paper explores the relevance of a ghost methodology for surveillance studies. Following Torin Monahan’s (2021) call to unsettle transparency as a metric or goal of surveillance studies and inspired by Michelle Brown’s (2022) demand that criminology exorcise the ghosts of white supremacy, I draw upon a 2020 case of a police-involved death of a racialized woman in Toronto to consider the haunting absence of images that are usually called upon …
Seeing and Not-Seeing
This paper explores the racial dimensions of police body-worn cameras (BWCs) in Canada and the contested politics of seeing that they raise. By drawing on interview data with four Canadian police services and analyzing them through the work of anti-racist and anti-colonialist scholars, we argue that BWCs are engaged in the act of not-seeing the state violence that makes racialized communities vulnerable to police brutality in the first place. To …

MCCOY, Ted – Four Unruly Women: Stories of Incarceration and Resistance from Canada’s Most Notorious Prison. Vancouver: UBC Press, 2019. Pp 148. Although Ted McCoy’s Four Unruly Women is a short and accessibly written text—and, therefore, an excellent teaching resource!—it also offers a meticulously researched and multilayered analysis of four women, all imprisoned at the notorious Kingston Penitentiary (KP) at different times, for a revealing gl…

Postcolonialism, Time, and Body-Worn Cameras
This paper draws on postcolonial temporal analysis to make sense of police use of body-worn cameras (BWCs). We argue that the potential of BWCs to make racist policing visible, as originally hoped, is compromised by the inability of “real-time” video to capture the complexity of historical and on-going colonial relations. Drawing on postcolonial literary and visual theory, and especially Homi Bhabha’s (2004) postcolonial analysis of “belated-ness…
Securing the home
This article explores gendered narratives of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in apartment buildings. Drawing on primary data from a study with a diversity of women in Toronto, Canada, the authors foreground women’s experiences with apartment living and situate it as a profoundly feminized domestic arrangement. Consideration of the workings of CCTV in apartment buildings troubles both security and surveillance studies, especially in the c…
An avalanche of tragedy’
On 24 May 1925, three young women incarcerated at the Concord Industrial Jail Farm for Women (near Toronto, Ontario) wrestled the night matron, Mrs Mick, to the ground, tied her down, took her keys and escaped from prison. Tragically, Mrs Mick suffered a stroke and died while chained to the prison washbasins. Upon their capture, the two 16-year-olds and one 19-year-old were charged with murder in a case that would capture the attention of the loc…
