Dr. Bracken-Roche, Assistant Professor of Criminology, has won an Irish Research Council New Foundations Award for her project entitled 'Big Data Governance: The adoption of surveillance technologies by policing and security agencies'.
Surveillance studies is nascent in Ireland, and limited research has been done on how domestic policing, safety, and security agencies adopt and deploy surveillance technologies. In Ireland, the Civil Defence Force have at least 20 drones, and the Gardaí have been exploring the possibility of purchasing drones since 2015. This project represents a new phase of data collection, network building, and research dissemination on the adoption and use of mobile surveillance technologies, specifically drones and big data practices, by policing agencies.
