The pre- crime society is expanding. It relies on a growing range of
routine and highly specialist surveillance technologies (see McCulloch
& Wilson, 2016) to represent a core characteristic of our ultramodern
era (Arrigo, Sellers & Sostakas, 2020). This volume is both a significant
and sobering resource on the implications of these developments
in a control society (Deleuze, 1992) constituted by an increasingly
expanding web of criminal justice agencies, pre- emptive laws and
corrective interventions that are enacted through ubiquitous and readily
accessible data about people.
