This edited collection reflects contemporary challenges faced by
police forces across the globe and the role of technology in
addressing them. The use of science and technology raises questions
about ethics, training, the well-being of people, and freedom. New
technologies promise to foster police practices based on intelligence,
accuracy, and preparedness, and are considered necessary to overcome
challenges such as declining budgets, lack of personnel, and
legitimacy. However, technologies can also be used for authoritarian
and nefarious purposes. For those reasons, this book aims to discuss
related topics from various contexts to establish connections among
common problems in the field of policing across the globe. This book
provides an internationally relevant assessment of the use of
technology in the field of policing, as well as the impact on training
and police well-being. It is ideal for an academic audience at both
graduate and undergraduate levels in the fields of criminal justice
studies, police studies, legal sociology, and public policy, and will
be of interest to police practitioners, legal professionals, social
service workers, and public-sector managers.
