RT Article T1 Citizen surveil-labour: analysing Crime Stoppers and its alliance of police, media, and publics JF The Australian and New Zealand journal of criminology VO 52 IS 2 SP 291 OP 307 A1 Lincoln, Robyn A1 McGillivray, Laura LA English YR 2018 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1737749343 AB An examination of a Crime Stoppers initiative - a weekly page published in a major city-based tabloid newspaper - afforded a rare glimpse into this understudied global entity. It also offered a means of reflecting on the co-option of CCTV images; partnerships between police, media organisations, and diverse publics; and the harnessing of citizen labour in a culture of surveillance. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted on the images, accompanying texts, and rhetoric of this feature page for a two-year period. From a media criminology perspective, the portrayals underscore the abrogation of the presumption of innocence, a focus on mundane property offences, with the potential to exacerbate fear of crime and to engender more punitive public attitudes. From a conceptual frame, this article proffers the notion of surveil-labour where the repurposing of CCTV data in the context of a Crime Stoppers scheme reinforces an alliance of police, media, and the public to enhance an infrastructure of informing.
