The Algorithmic Society: Technology, Power, and Knowledge: Routledge Studies in Crime, Security and Justice

Editat de Marc Schuilenburg, Rik Peeters
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 oct 2026
We live in an algorithmic society. Artificial Intelligence and algorithms have become the main mediators through which power and knowledge are enacted in our society. This book brings together three academic fields – Public Administration, Criminal Justice and Urban Governance – into a single conceptual framework, and offers a broad cultural-political analysis, addressing critical and ethical issues of AI and algorithms.
Governments are increasingly turning towards AI tools to predict criminality, deliver public services, allocate resources, and calculate recidivism rates. Mind-boggling amounts of data regarding our daily actions are analysed to make decisions that manage, control, and nudge our behaviour in everyday life. The contributions in this book offer a broad analysis of the mechanisms and social implications of algorithmic governance. Reporting from the cutting edge of scientific research, the result is illuminating and useful for understanding the relations between AI, power and knowledge.
This new revised and updated edition includes topics such as:
  • Algorithmic governmentality
  • Transparency and accountability
  • Fairness in criminal justice and predictive policing
  • Principles of good digital administration
  • Digital sovereignty and responsible AI
  • AI and the smart city
 This book is essential reading for students and scholars of Sociology, Criminology, Public Administration, Political Sciences, and Cultural Theory interested in the integration of AI and algorithms into the governance of society.

Descriere

AI and algorithms have become the main mediators through which power and knowledge are enacted in our society. This book brings together three academic fields, Public Administration, Criminal Justice and Urban Governance, into a single conceptual framework, and offers a broad cultural-political analysis of AI and algorithms.

Recenzii

‘We urgently need sharp questions, better concepts, bold thinking and sensible proposals to make progress on the fundamental ambivalence of the rise of the use of algorithms in key areas of public policy: algorithms can make government smarter and more efficient - ànd they can generate a heap of unpleasant unintended consequences. This volume provides us with the analytical tools and careful reasoning that are required to come to terms with one of the most pervasive agents of change in our societies today.’
Paul 't Hart, Utrecht University School of Governance
‘Algorithms have become key mediators of everyday life. Yet we are still grappling to understand their operations and effects. This timely book provides a thorough, insightful and richly illustrated analysis of algorithmic power, and is essential reading for those seeking to comprehend how algorithmic governance works in practice and why it matters.’
Rob Kitchin, Maynooth University Social Sciences Institute
