Exploring the changing nature of policing in the digital society.
As emerging digital technologies changes society, so is policing changing in response. From a changing nature of crime and an increased reliance on digital evidence, to a shift towards prevention and risk or the implementation of new methods of policing or surveillance. Understanding these changes lies at the core of this European research network.
PDS Yearbook 2025 now available
Digital developments have a significant impact on crime and therefore on law enforcement practices. One of the profound issues is that the police have to deal with challenges in balancing new technological possibilities for law enforcement agencies in the investigation of crimes, and the implications that these developments have for fundamental human rights. There are no clear-cut solutions or answers. Step by step, the police have to find answers to several legal and ethical issues that go together with the digitalisation of society. The aim of the PDS-network and of this volume is to address and discuss critical policing issues. This volume is the result of the 2023 Policing in the Digital Society Network conference at the Police Academy in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. This volume provides the police, as well as institutions for academic and police education, with insights into the latest developments and legal and ethical issues in modern policing.
