In the world of crime, offending, victimisation and social control technological development has been flagged as a part of the problem (cyber-crimes, AI-enabled offending such as deep fakes) and a part of the solution (predictive policing, algorithmic justice). BDFI academic Dr Sanja Miliojevic looks at predicted, likely and alternative digital futures in this space and what role interdisciplinary research and partnerships using the innovative methodology and research platforms can play in their development.
