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.

Recenzii

It’s testament to the fast-changing pace of digital innovation and the AI disruption underway that a second edition was warranted so shortly after the first. We increasingly live in an algorithmically mediated society and this insightful book details what this means in practice, why it matters, and how to respond.
Rob Kitchin, Maynooth University Social Sciences Institute

AI is increasingly expanding to many aspects of our lives and transforming key elements of modern societies. This book constitutes an exemplar of research on algorithmic governance, particularly the influence of algorithms, automation, and digitalization on governance, justice, and cities. Based on a multidisciplinary perspective, The Algorithmic Society represents a diverse collection of current topics, critical reflections, and essential discussions about how data-driven technologies add new layers to the governance of society. I highly recommend it.
Ramon Gil‐Garcia, State University of New York Albany

This book offers one of the most comprehensive accounts to date of how algorithms and AI are reshaping the exercise of power and the organisation of everyday life. Through empirical engagement with a broad range of cases, it charts a path towards conceptualizing algorithmic governance as fair, accountable, and consistent with the values of an open society.
Matthias Leese, ETH Zurich & University of Zurich

For better and quite possibly for worse, AI will transform governance, politics and public policy. We urgently need to imagine and debate what could happen - and what is already happening. This outstanding volume provides us with the analytical tools and careful reasoning required to come to terms with the AI revolution transforming our societies.
Paul 't Hart, Utrecht University School of Governance
