This loosely coordinated camera infrastructure is part of the broader transformation of policing from a historically " low visibility " to an increasingly 'high visibility' occupation. This article reports on the findings of a participant-observation study of how police officers understand and respond to this transformation. We identify three distinct orientations, and highlight the multifaceted and contradictory relationship between police officers and cameras. The study raises questions about the extent to which camera technologies represent a straightforward way to " police the police " .

This article draws from an ongoing ethnographic study to interrogate the diverse appeals of such devices to institutional audiences. The authors situate these devices within the occupational culture and routines of door staff, and accentuate how the real world operation of these tools can at times circumvent any promised security gains. They then consider why the devices are nonetheless appealing to nightclub representatives because of their potential sign value that allows bar staff to advance preferred sets of communications with influential audiences.

Ellos mismos producen nuevos riesgos, puesto que es por medio de tales sistemas que los riesgos se reconocen, se someten a cálculos y pueden ser objeto de intervención. Dichos sistemas gobiernan relaciones institucionales e inciden en lo que individuos y organizaciones tienen la capacidad de llevar a cabo.

It documents how a host of micropolitical considerations impinge on what studies are conducted, which agencies control official data, and how measures are standardized. The communication of statistical facts is also shown to be influenced by a concern to prospectively manage the political symbolism of popular accounts about crime and criminal justice statistics.
