AB "This project explores the long history of criminal justice technoscience, from the post W.W.II era to the present day. While the contemporary role of "big data" and other forms of computerized, technological control have been critiqued by scholars and activists, Jefferson reveals how information technology corporations, computer scientists, and various government bureaus of science and technology in the 50s, 60s and 70s reacted to crises in the urban political economy and "computerized" the carceral state, laying the groundwork for new ways to discipline and surveil poor communities of color"--
