It shows how these new tools are blurring contemporary regulatory boundaries, undercutting the safeguards built into regulatory regimes, and abolishing subjectivity and case-specific narratives. After presenting the context for ‘algorithmic justice’ and existing research, the article shows how specific uses of big data and algorithms change knowledge production regarding crime. It then examines how a specific understanding of crime and acting upon such knowledge violates established criminal procedure rules. It concludes with a discussion of the socio-political context of algorithmic justice. European Journal of Criminology - Registration at source 18/9/2019 Research article Terrorizing Police: Revisiting ‘the Policing of Terrorism’ From the Perspective of Danish Police Detectives A common conclusion in criminology is that fears of terrorism are being (mis)used. The media have used them to market their products, politicians to promote themselves as protectors, and the police have profited through being granted increased powers and resources. Some scholars even argue that one outcome has been a growing militarization of the police. This article revisits this debate. It does so by taking an ethnographic look at how the war on terror has affected a number of Danish police detectives’ daily work. In doing so, the paper shows how the idea that police (mostly) benefit from the war on terror somewhat misses the mark – at least when seen from the perspective of frontline officers. As the article demonstrates, rather than mobilizing Danish detectives, terrorism most often makes them feel mired. European Journal of Criminology - Registration at source 18/9/2019 Research article Pre-Crime and Policing of Migrants: Anticipatory Action Meets Management of Concerns In 2015 the Norwegian police initiated its first national intelligence project—Operation Migrant. One central aim was to predict crime challenges related to increased migration to improve future resource allocation. Based on qualitative interviews with those managing the operation, this article foregrounds the question of how attempts to reduce uncertainties and manage what is perceived as migration-related threats and risks, shape not only ideas of risk in policing of migration but also influence the importance of precautionary logic in regular policing. First, we analyse how knowledge production built on risk management and sharing of risk intelligence products are co-produced by intelligence staff and decision-makers. Thereafter, we discuss paradoxical outcomes of a calculated and precautionary logic applied to policing migrants. Concretely, the article focuses on how anticipatory knowledge practices seem to enlarge the space for probabilities, making it even more complex and contested to reduce and control uncertainty.

Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) 18/9/2019 Report The Times view on police Tasers: Use with Caution When Britain’s first police force was formed in 1829, its officers were equipped with a 20-inch wooden truncheon to be kept out of sight inside their distinctive blue coats. In the decades since, the nation has prided itself on the reluctance of the police to use violence against suspected lawbreakers. The pressure is mounting, however, to move towards a more American-style system in which officers are armed, in this case with Tasers, as a matter of course. Calls to equip all officers with 50,000-volt stun guns have become stronger.
