CfA EASST/4S Prague: Digital Technologies in Policing and Security
Dear all, <br> <br>we are pleased to invite contributions to the panel on *“Digital <br>Technologies in Policing and Security”* at the 4S/EASST Meeting in <br>Prague on August 18-21, 2020 organized by Simon Egbert (TU Berlin) and <br>Nikolaus Poechhacker (TU Munich) on behalf of the DTiPS Network. <br> <br>*Description:* <br>Recent and globally disseminated technologies and processes of data <br>analysis and computational science – mainly in reference to terms (and <br>myths) like big data, algorithmic decision making and artificial <br>intelligence – have transformed many processes of knowledge production <br>in the field of domestic security practices. With predictive policing as <br>one of its currently most prominent representatives, the data-driven <br>production of (prospective) knowledge has now also affected the security <br>systems at every level – from policing to criminal justice, from border <br>control to counterterrorism policies. Different predictive models <br>include generating risky spaces – like PredPol; risky individuals – like <br>Chicago’s ‘strategic subject list’, EU-border risk assessment system <br>EUROSUR and US’ Computer-Assisted Passenger Pre-screening System; or <br>calculating the recidivism risk of convicted offenders in order to <br>inform the sentence decision – like COMPAS. Thus, regardless of whether <br>suspects or spaces are objects of (predictive) knowledge production, or <br>if recidivism risk scores for convicted offenders are generated, in the <br>end, these practices are increasingly characterized by a socio-technical <br>interwovenness with digital data production and algorithmic <br>technologies. This calls for an exploration of the sociotechnical <br>dynamics involved in the co-construction of risks, (in)justice, <br>(in)security and technological development. Correspondingly, this panel <br>seeks to ask how STS can provide analytical tools for grasping the <br>entanglement of technology and society involved in the development and <br>implementation of digitally mediated knowledge production in policing, <br>criminal justice, border control and other fields of security by <br>presenting globally disseminated case examples as well as theoretical <br>approaches on the digitalization and datafication of policing and <br>security practices. <br> <br>*See also:* https://dtips-network.org/2020/01/15/cfa-4s-easst-in-prague/ <br> <br>*Deadline:* 2020, February 29. Please hand in your abstract via <br>https://convention2.allacademic.com/one/ssss/prague20/. <br> <br>We are looking forward to your contributions! <br> <br>Simon & Nikolaus <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
