This project builds on past collaborative research between Dr Miranda and Dr Urquhart around biometrics, policing, and regulation. Some relevant resources and further reading are provided below.

This project explored near future uses of biometric AI by police - the project included a systematic literature review, construction of design fictions, and running of a roundtable with law enforcement/government around uses of biometric AI in policing. Report here.

This journal paper presents empirical research conducted with police around facial recogntion use, coupled with legal analysis of the emerging UK and EU regulatory landscape, and a series of recommendations around better UK use of live facial recognition.

This is the final report from the 3.5 year international, large ESRC funded project on Emotional AI in Smart Cities which explored use of emotion sensing technologies (often involving the face)in a range of everyday contexts of use in Japan and UK, including security and law enforcement.

This paper explored the emergence of physical digital sensing devices in homes, and their utility in contemporary policing, raising socio-technical and ethical questions around the increased visibility of everyday life.

Both Dr Miranda and Dr Urquhart are directors  in the UK's leading interdisciplinary research centre on surveillance and privacy, CRISP, which has been running since 2012. The Centre also hosts the Scottish Privacy Forum with the UK Information Commissioner Office.
