Mareile Kaufmann explains how algorithms and related digital practices are part of
shaping societal, political and scientific visions and visibilities.
She documents how the increasing digitization of law enforcement influences which phenomena are registered, how they are analyzed and made sense of. In that context, she contrasts the tools' potential for efficient and effective law enforcement with some of the issues around digital literacies and the politics of patterns.
