Abstract
Building on Part 1, Part 2 of this article extends the analysis of algorithmic policing to include acoustic gunshot detection systems and explores the broader political economy of policing in America. It examines the development and deployment of ShotSpotter technology, its effectiveness, and the controversies surrounding its use. The article then synthesizes insights from the various algorithmic policing tools discussed across both parts to analyze how the imperatives of Silicon Valley venture capital and startup culture are reshaping law enforcement. It explores the historical context of American policing and how new technologies are altering police-community relations. The article concludes by discussing the global spread of algorithmic policing, potential future developments in AI-enabled law enforcement, and the role anthropology can play in critically examining and shaping the future of policing in the age of algorithms.
