        Subject: Algorithms and policing

Dear colleagues,

I want to point those of you interested in algorithms and policing to
this recently defended PhD dissertation by Isabelle Donatz-Fest (Utrecht
University). "Cop, Code and Conduct" is a deep dive into the discourses
and practices of technological change at the Dutch National Police.
Often immersed into various police units and observing officers and data
professionals, Isabelle investigated how data analysis and algorithmic
systems are developed and used. The result is a sharp analysis of an
institution grappling with ethics, capacities and governance. It is a
very engaging and highly informative read.

You can find the thesis through the link below.
Cheers,
mirko

Dear Willard

We are pleased to announce the publication of The Routledge Companion to
Transnational Web Archive Studies, edited by Susan Aasman, Anat Ben-David and
Niels Brügger.
https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Companion-to-Transnational-Web-Archive-
Studies/Aasman-Ben-David-Brugger/p/book/9781032497785
The book is available in hardback and eBook formats.

This volume explores the untapped potential of web archives for researching
transnational digital history and communication. It covers cross- border, cross-
collection, and cross- institutional examination of web archives on a global
scale. It emerged from the highly collaborative WARCnet research network, and
presents an exploration of the ways web archive research can transcend
technological and legal challenges to allow for new comparative, transnational
studies of the web’s pasts, and of global events.

The book contains concrete examples on how to research national web domains
through a transnational perspective; provides case studies with grounded
explorations of the COVID- 19 crisis as a distinctly transnational event
captured by web archives; offers methodological considerations while unpacking
techniques and skill sets for conducting transnational web archive research; and
critically engages the politics and power dynamics inherent to web archives as
institutionalised collections.

The Routledge Companion to Transnational Web Archive Studies will be of
particular interest to graduate students and scholars from internet and media
studies, cultural studies, history, and digital humanities. It will also appeal
to web archiving practitioners, including librarians, web curators, and IT
developers.

This is the second volume in the Series: Routledge Companions to the Digital
Humanities.
