This chapter interweaves ‘surveillance theory’, ‘policing studies’ and ‘field theory’ (Bourdieu 1984) to examine the politics of ‘pre-crime’ and ‘surveillance’ in the ‘field of policing’. We begin by defining the key concepts (‘surveillance’, ‘pre-crime’ and ‘policing’), before drawing upon a wide range empirical research to examine how ‘risk’, ‘actuarial thinking’, and ‘predictive analytics’ are mediated by police managers, police officers, intelligence analysts, private security officers and citizens going about their business in police stations, CCTV control rooms, welfare offices, shopping malls and airports. The chapter concludes by calling for further research on the informal networks and crossovers that exist between the police and the emerging technological field expertise and on the experience of pre-crime subjects.
