Justice by Algorithm: Balancing Safety and Freedom in the Age of AI Policing

By Adonis A. Kawal

What if the next police decision is made not by a person--but by a machine? From facial recognition and predictive crime software to surveillance drones and algorithmic risk scoring, law enforcement is undergoing a seismic shift. But behind the high-tech promise of faster, smarter policing lies a troubling truth: justice is being rewritten by code . In Justice by Algorithm , explore the hidden systems reshaping public safety--and the moral cost of entrusting freedom to artificial intelligence. Drawing from global case studies, real-world examples, and a compelling human-centered lens, this book uncovers: How AI policing tools work--and where they go dangerously wrong The rise of algorithmic bias and feedback loops that target marginalized communities The legal, ethical, and societal challenges of regulating AI in law enforcement How global governments are racing to adopt--or resist--automated justice What a human-centered, ethical, and transparent policing model should look like Accessible, urgent, and emotionally intelligent, Justice by Algorithm is for readers who care about civil liberties, digital rights, and the future of justice in a world ruled by data. Whether you're a policymaker, technologist, journalist, or engaged citizen--this book will change how you think about crime, power, and the technology shaping our lives.
