Radzinowicz Award for Matthias Leese
Matthias Leese, senior researcher at the CSS, received the 2019 Radzinowicz Award for his paper on ‘Predictive Policing and the Politics of Patterns’ and its contributions to knowledge of criminal justice issues and the development of criminology. This article was written in collaboration with Mareile Kaufmann (Oslo University) and Simon Egbert (Universität Hamburg).
Predictive policing has more recently been one of the most prevalent topics in research on crime, the police, and criminal justice. In light of the increasing implementation and use of algorithmic software packages in police departments around the world, we are now witnessing quickly growing literatures at the intersections of criminology, science and technology studies, critical data studies, and surveillance and security studies that engage predictive policing from various angles.
