Exploring the impact of algorithmic policing on social justice
This article aims to contribute to digital criminology by proposing a framework of rhizomatic harms of algorithmic policing. We propose to expand zemiologist insights with a technological and relational component, and to broaden the concept of ‘social harms’ to ‘rhizomatic harms’. Rhizomatic harms are to be understood in all their complexity, as they emerge from multiple entry points with the creation of complex layers of harms as a result. By fo…
Research Handbook on Privacy and Data Protection Law
The chapter discusses how Media and Communication Studies (MCS) enriches the research on privacy and data protection in mediated communication. Especially as the latter is increasingly digitised, commodified and submerged in everyday life, the challenges increase of how to safeguard accountability in systems, public values in digital governance and empowerment of citizens in society. Starting from mutual articulation between artefacts, practices …
Smart Cities as Surveillance Theatre
In this opinion piece, we challenge the dominating view that surveillance in smart cities is driven by surveillance capitalism alone. Whilst this literature unpicks important factors and trends, we argue that a focus on surveillance capitalism as a sole driver risks ignoring the more intricate realities of surveillance assemblages. They are often propelled by many different desires and power relations (Haggerty and Ericson 2000). We argue for a m…
How to Watch the Watchers? Democratic Oversight of Algorithmic Police Surveillance in Belgium
In the last decade and more recently triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, algorithmic surveillance technologies have been increasingly implemented and experimented with by the police for crime control, public order policing, and as management tools. Police departments are also increasingly consumers of surveillance technologies that are created, sold, and controlled by private companies. They exercise an undue influence over police today in ways t…

Data Protection and Privacy
The subjects of Privacy and Data Protection are more relevant than ever with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becoming enforceable in May 2018. This volume brings together papers that offer conceptual analyses, highlight issues, propose solutions, and discuss practices regarding privacy and data protection. It is one of the results of the tenth annual International Conference on Computers, Privacy and Data Protection, CPDP 2…
Surveillance
The sixth meeting of biannual Surveillance & Society conference, "Surveillance: Ambiguities and Asymmetries" was held in Barcelona, Spain during 24-26 April 2014. It was the first time that it was celebrated outside of the United Kingdom. The conference was a great success: about 170 experts from all over the world gathered in Barcelona for three days and 45 parallel sessions. 130 members joined or renewed their Surveillance Studies Network membe…

Understanding resistance to digital surveillance
Despite being central to the dynamics of surveillance, the concept of resistance remains underdeveloped within the surveillance studies corpus. We review theoretical work on surveillance before summarising the main treatments of resistance from within surveillance studies. We find that the majority of resistance literature in surveillance studies is focussed on resistance relations between the surveyor and the surveilled, and neglects other relev…
