CRIME, JUSTICE AND SURVEILLANCE
A TWO-DAY INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
HOSTED BY THE CENTRE FOR CRIMINOLOGICAL RESEARCH, UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD
IN ASSOCIATION WITH
WWW.SURVEILLANCE-AND-SOCIETY.ORG
Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th April 2006
In the UK the last decade has seen an unprecedented deployment of
surveillance technologies and practices in the name of crime control.
Drug testing, electronic monitoring, DNA testing and video monitoring have
all expanded rapidly. Actuarial practices based on risk assessment and
offender profiling have become central to proactive based policing
strategies that âtarget the criminal and not the crimeâ, and intelligence
gathering has been put at the heart of policing. In addition multi-agency
partnerships, which integrate police, probation, education, social
services and health departments in a âjoined upâ approach to crime
reduction have led to new practices of information exchange. This is aimed
at both identifying potential deviants for pre-emptive intervention and
subjecting known criminals to âintensive supervision and surveillanceâ in
the community. The criminal record has now been enhanced and expanded
with the development of searchable data-base technologies, specialist
registers, and facilities to allow access to externally held databases.
These developments are not unique to the UK, and this conference seeks to
explore the British experience in the context of developments in Europe
and beyond and to consider the social, political and legal issues that
arise from the expansion of surveillance. Although the conference will
have a particular European focus we would especially welcome contributions
from researchers in North and South America, Australia and New Zealand,
Africa and the Asian sub-continent. The conference aims to be truly
inter-disciplinary and welcomes contributions from sociologists,
anthropologists, geographers, criminologists, socio-legal scholars,
historians, economists and social scientists researching surveillance
practices and technologies
It is planned that all papers given at the conference will be considered
for publication in a special edition of Surveillance and Society.
However, acceptance of a paper for the conference is not a guarantee of
publication as all submissions will be subject to normal peer review
procedures. We particularly welcome papers on the following topics
ÂTheorising the new technologies of surveillance
ÂNational and international trends in the growth of surveillance
ÂCase studies of the impact of new surveillance technologies in different
institutional settings/countries
ÂSurveillance technologies and social exclusion
ÂThe portrayal of surveillance technologies in literature, film and the media
ÂSurveillance and legal regulation
ÂThe history and politics of surveillance technologies
ÂResistance to surveillance technologies
ÂThe contours of public acceptability of new surveillance technologies
ÂSurveillance technologies and civil liberties.
ÂEthical issues in the use of surveillance technologies
ÂIntelligence led police and the use of police informers
ÂNew database technologies
ÂGIS systems and Criminal Justice
This is a non-residential conference and participants will need to make
their own arrangements for accommodation. The Conference Fee will be Â135
(Â125 for early registration) for the two days and Â70 for one-day
attendance. The fee will include refreshments and lunch, but not overnight

4th at an additional charge of Â35.
