Crime, Culture and Control in the Ultramodern Age

Cover of Bruce Arrigo & Brian Sellers: Pre-Crime Society (PDF)

We now live in a pre-crime society, in which information technology strategies and techniques such as predictive policing, actuarial justice and surveillance penology are used to achieve hyper-securitization. However, such securitization comes at a cost – the criminalization of everyday life is guaranteed, justice functions as an algorithmic industry and punishment is administered through dataveillance regimes. This pioneering book explores relevant theories, developing technologies and institutional practices and explains how the pre-crime society operates in the ‘ultramodern’ age of digital reality construction. Reviewing pre-crime’s cultural and political effects, the authors propose new directions in crime control policy.
