Policing “the Risky”: Technology and Surveillance in Everyday Patrol Work

Alors que de nombreux chercheurs universitaires du domaine de la surveillance et de la police affirment que l'emergence d'une societe de la surveillance normalise l'utilisation des technologies de surveillance par les services policiers, nous constatons qu'a cause d'un manque de donnees empiriques il est difficile de determiner l'impact reel de la gestion des risques, et de la securite et de la surveillance dans le travail de la police. Cette etude s'appuie sur des entrevues approfondies et sur l'observation participative de deux services de police canadiens dans le but d'explorer l'impact que les technologies policieres peuvent avoir sur les interactions entre la police et le public. A partir de cette analyse, nous soutenons que le changement organisationnel des activites de police axe sur le risque et sur le renseignement ne se manifeste pas sur le terrain. Au contraire, les patrouilleurs utilisent plutot les technologies pour legitimer l'action policiere envers “les suspects habituels”.
