Police Visibility - Bryce Clayton Newell - Bog

"There is a growing literature on the perils as well as harm prevention potential of police regulation by recording. As a scholar of information studies, Bryce Newell offers intriguing theoretical and philosophical frames attentive to information politics and informed by fieldwork."--Mary D. Fan, author of Camera Power: Policing, Proof, Privacy, and Audiovisual Big Data "Significantly advances our understanding of police and society and the politics of information under the deluge of creeping (or perhaps better) galloping new surveillance technologies. Newell's clear-headed interdisciplinary exploration drops gentle rain on the arid parade of unreflective, optimistic narratives, viewing police-worn cameras and their visual records as salvation. A foundational text for scholars and practitioners."--Gary T. Marx, author of Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Society in an Age of High Technology
