Dear colleagues, I want to point those of you interested in algorithms and policing to this recently defended PhD dissertation by Isabelle Donatz-Fest (Utrecht University). "Cop, Code and Conduct" is a deep dive into the discourses and practices of technological change at the Dutch National Police. Often immersed into various police units and observing officers and data professionals, Isabelle investigated how data analysis and algorithmic systems are developed and used. The result is a sharp analysis of an institution grappling with ethics, capacities and governance. It is a very engaging and highly informative read. You can find the thesis through the link below.
