“…We suggest that the symbolic power of BWCs is an important consideration that requires further investigation. Research on the social shaping of technology illustrates how technology holds a symbolic function as much as it does a technological one (see Chan, 2001;Manning, 2008;Sanders & Condon, 2017). Technology, therefore, is constructed-in its design and in the way it is adopted, appropriated, interpreted, and used (van den Scott, Sanders, & Puddephatt, 2016).…”

During a brief interaction with motorists (i.e., a sobriety check), this study manipulated officer use (and declaration) of a body-worn camera (BWC) (present; absent) while documenting participant BWC recollection (correct; incorrect) to assess effects on motorists' perceptions of the encounter and of police more generally. Results (N = 361) demonstrate that perceptions of procedural justice were more favourable in the BWC-present condition when the entire sample was included in the analyses, but that this effect was not significant when focusing on the subset of the sample that correctly recollected BWC use (though the pattern of the effect was the same in both analyses). Policy Implications: In combination with results from a handful of similar studies, this study's results suggest that BWCs may be a tool that can be leveraged to enhance public perceptions of encounters with police; however, more research is needed to substantiate this claim. In particular, the development of evidence-based policy on this matter necessitates continued studies that address issues such as sample imbalances (e.g., gender and minority status), length of the interaction studied (i.e., experimental dosage), and controlling for officer behavior.

“…We conceptualize this shift as the adoption of an intelligence logic. The article is therefore a contribution to the qualitative scholarly tradition that examines in depth how such changes affect police practice (Brayne, 2017;Burcher & Whelan, 2019;Egbert & Leese, 2021;Fyfe et al, 2018;Innes & Sheptycki, 2004;Innes et al, 2005;Sanders & Condon, 2017;Sanders & Hannem, 2012;Sanders & Henderson, 2013;Sanders et al, 2015;Weston et al, 2019). In this research strand, possibilistic thinking emerges as a prominent police institutional logic, and we will investigate how this is expressed in the organization, with a particular focus on how the intelligence logic is regarded by crime preventers.…”

Previous studies point to an increasingly entrenched risk-based logic of performance management in policing, where crime fighting is central. This article analyses how police crime preventers respond to these shifts and develop their practice. We explore empirically how intelligence-led policing is employed in police crime prevention efforts in a vulnerable area and the dilemmas that arise. Drawing on institutional logic theory we examine the rejigging of the pressures and complexities of institutional logic in question. We particularly highlight how a risk-based logic affects the practices of the police crime preventers: the type of data that is seen as important and how it is used. Crime prevention and intelligence-led policing both are future-oriented, although they have different time frames and requirements for what is defined as valid knowledge. To conclude, our findings indicate there have been shifts in relations and the power balance within the police organization, owing to the demands of data-driven police practice.

“…It raised concerns linked to the compliance with the Europol's data protection framework, in particular with the principles of purpose limitation, data minimization, data accuracy, storage limitation, with the impact of potential data breaches, location of storage, general management and information security. 28 The EDPS inquiry has shown, among other things, that it is not possible for Europol, receiving large data sets, to ascertain that all the information contained in them comply with data minimization and purpose-limitation principles. The volume of information is so big that its content is often unknown until the moment when the analyst extracts relevant entities for their input into the relevant database in OPS NET.…”

Quality of data sets that feed AI and big data applications for law enforcement

In the era of big data and artificial intelligence (AI), where aggregated data is used to learn about patterns and for decision-making, quality of input data seems to be of paramount importance. Poor data quality may lead not only to wrong outcomes, which will simply render the application useless, but more importantly to fundamental rights breaches and undermined trust in the public authorities using such applications. In law enforcement as in other sectors the question of how to ensure that data used for the development of big data and AI applications meet quality standards remains. This paper provides an overview of this topic, reporting selected issues stemming from big data, nonpersonal data and regulatory contexts. It concludes that the topic is still underexplored and sets areas for further research.
