This book interrogates the transnational field of (anti-)corruption and elite crime. Using the lens of luxury, art, and antiquities, the contributors reconceptualize the driving dialectics of corruption and anti-corruption. Compliance, Defiance and ''Dirty'' Luxury brings together scholars across criminology, anthropology, sociology, and the humanities to tackle these dialectics from different angles and positions, digging deeper into these corrupt zigzags of compliance and defiance. This approach reveals a self-reinforcing, accelerating, neoliberal perpetuum mobile churning out a frenzy of public-private crime-fighting initiatives that stimulate the expansion of various control and surveillance architectures which time and again fail. This volume opens new theoretical and empirical paths of investigation for criminologists and anthropologists alike. While the book speaks primarily to academic audiences and graduate students, it also appeals to a broad range of professionals.

This volume, the second of a two volume set, offers a rich and unique collection of global perspectives on data-driven predictive technologies and the expansion and use of surveillance apparatuses in policing and intelligence, both public and private. Volume II delves into the epistemologies of data, into the imaginaries of accuracy, and fantasies of technosolutionism, utilizing empirical case studies to interrogate the use of data in policing, while raising questions pertaining to governance, ethics and knowledge construction. The chapters span from exploring the construction of clean and dirty data in private and public policing in South Africa, discussions about facial recognition and technopolitics in Brazil, the construction of intelligence and organizational learning in Norwegian police ethics and broader questions of transparency, data quality, and trust in data-driven policing, to the very topical issues of policing of generative AI and the ways in which both authoritarian and liberal democracies, such as China and India, use biopolitics to turn social welfare into surveillance. Academics and students of criminology, social anthropology, critical algorithm studies, critical sociology, and regional studies, will find this timely volume of interest.

Policing and Intelligence in the Global Big Data Era, Volume I, the first of a two volume set, presents a rich and unique collection of global perspectives on data-driven predictive technologies and the expansion and use of surveillance apparatuses in policing and intelligence, both public and private. Centered around the notion of ‘algorithmic governance’, this volume explores various practices of abstract and intelligence-led policing within the context of surveillance and regulatory capitalism. Each chapter interrogates these concepts as much as realities on the ground as they play out across the globe – from Russia, USA, India, Brazil to Denmark, Germany and Norway. The volume offers a unique insight into the ways in which technologies and data-driven practices – from facial recognition, predictive algorithms, to generative AI – are reshaping cultures of policing both within and beyond police proper. Particular attention is paid to the simultaneous privatization and pluralization policing and intelligence and to the proliferation of new intelligence actors. Academics, students and readers interested in the fields of criminology, social anthropology, critical algorithm.
