The Algorithmic Society: Technology, Power, and Knowledge: Routledge Studies in Crime, Security and Justice

Editat de Marc Schuilenburg, Rik Peeters
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2022
We live in an algorithmic society. Algorithms have become the main mediator through which power is enacted in our society. This book brings together three academic fields – Public Administration, Criminal Justice and Urban Governance – into a single conceptual framework, and offers a broad cultural-political analysis, addressing critical and ethical issues of algorithms.
Governments are increasingly turning towards algorithms to predict criminality, deliver public services, allocate resources, and calculate recidivism rates. Mind-boggling amounts of data regarding our daily actions are analysed to make decisions that manage, control, and nudge our behaviour in everyday life. The contributions in this book offer a broad analysis of the mechanisms and social implications of algorithmic governance. Reporting from the cutting edge of scientific research, the result is illuminating and useful for understanding the relations between algorithms and power.Topics covered include:
  • Algorithmic governmentality
  • Transparency and accountability
  • Fairness in criminal justice and predictive policing
  • Principles of good digital administration
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the smart city
This book is essential reading for students and scholars of Sociology, Criminology, Public Administration, Political Sciences, and Cultural Theory interested in the integration of algorithms into the governance of society.

Recenzii

‘We urgently need sharp questions, better concepts, bold thinking and sensible proposals to make progress on the fundamental ambivalence of the rise of the use of algorithms in key areas of public policy: algorithms can make government smarter and more efficient - ànd they can generate a heap of unpleasant unintended consequences. This volume provides us with the analytical tools and careful reasoning that are required to come to terms with one of the most pervasive agents of change in our societies today.’
Paul 't Hart, Utrecht University School of Governance
‘Algorithms have become key mediators of everyday life. Yet we are still grappling to understand their operations and effects. This timely book provides a thorough, insightful and richly illustrated analysis of algorithmic power, and is essential reading for those seeking to comprehend how algorithmic governance works in practice and why it matters.’
Rob Kitchin, Maynooth University Social Sciences Institute
