暫譯: 未來警務：科技與轉型

商品描述
Future Policing examines how technologies such as facial recognition, quantum computing, virtual reality, data integration, artificial intelligence, robot cops, electrocardiograms, predictive policing, and investigative genetic genealogy are transforming the practice and governance of contemporary law enforcement.
Bringing together interdisciplinary scholars from eight countries, this 20-chapter volume offers empirically grounded analyses of how technologies are adopted, implemented, regulated, and experienced in practice. Chapters synthesize research evidence, operational experience, and theoretical debate to evaluate claims of efficiency, objectivity, and innovation, while identifying the social, legal, and ethical consequences that accompany digital transformation. At a critical moment when police agencies are investing heavily in technological solutions while navigating a fast-moving landscape of evolving tools, claims, and expectations, this volume provides a much-needed evidence base for understanding what these systems change in practice and what outcomes they realistically produce. And by bringing sustained critical investigation and scrutiny to rapidly institutionalizing tools, the collection establishes a foundation for the next generation of policing scholarship.
Rigorous and accessible, Future Policing provides students, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, among others, with the insight required to critically assess technological change and understand how innovation is reshaping what policing is, how it is done, and whom it serves.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《未來警務》探討了面部識別、量子計算、虛擬實境、數據整合、人工智慧、機器人警察、心電圖、預測性警務和調查性基因族譜等技術如何改變當代執法的實踐和治理。
本書匯集了來自八個國家的跨學科學者，這本20章的著作提供了基於實證的分析，探討這些技術在實踐中是如何被採用、實施、監管和體驗的。各章節綜合了研究證據、操作經驗和理論辯論，以評估效率、客觀性和創新性的主張，同時識別伴隨數位轉型的社會、法律和倫理後果。在警察機構在快速變化的工具、主張和期望的環境中大量投資技術解決方案的關鍵時刻，本書提供了理解這些系統在實踐中改變了什麼以及它們實際產生了什麼結果所需的重要證據基礎。通過對迅速制度化的工具進行持續的批判性調查和審視，本書為下一代警務學術研究奠定了基礎。
《未來警務》內容嚴謹且易於理解，為學生、研究人員、實務工作者和政策制定者等提供了評估技術變革所需的洞見，並理解創新如何重塑警務的本質、執行方式及其服務對象。
