In situations ranging from border control to policing and welfare, governments are using automated facial recognition technology (FRT) to collect taxes, prevent crime, police cities and control immigration. FRT involves the processing of a person's facial image, usually for identification, categorisation or counting. This ambitious handbook brings together a diverse group of legal, computer, communications, and social and political science scholars to shed light on how FRT has been developed, used by public authorities, and regulated in different jurisdictions across five continents. Informed by their experiences working on FRT across the globe, chapter authors analyse the increasing deployment of FRT in public and private life. The collection argues for the passage of new laws, rules, frameworks, and approaches to prevent harms of FRT in the modern state and advances the debate on scrutiny of power and accountability of public authorities which use FRT. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
In legal decisions and commentary, freedom of assembly is widely cherished as a precious human right and as indispensable for the preservation of democratic governance. But despite this rhetoric assemblies are subject to extensive regulation, such as prior restraints, and restrictions on the time, place and manner of assemblies. This comparative study examines five influential jurisdictions and reveals similarities and inconsistencies between them. It finds that freedom of assembly is often subjugated to freedom of expression in a way that disregards the expressive potential of assemblies. The shortcomings include the misconstrued content neutrality and public forum doctrines in the US, blan...
Der Einfluss von Macht auf gesellschaftliche Zustände und die Interdependenzen, die zwischen Politik, Recht, Wirtschaft und der Zuordnung und Kumulation von Macht bestehen, sind seit vielen Jahren ein Untersuchungsfeld für sozialwissenschaftliche Studien mit politologischem und soziologischem Ansatz. Damit verbunden zeigt sich aber auch häufig eine gewisse Tendenz zur Vernachlässigung der juristischen und ökonomischen Implikationen von Macht in den entsprechenden Arbeiten. Parallel hierzu zeigt sich ein erheblicher Nachholbedarf sowohl in der rechts- als auch in der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Theorie hinsichtlich der Analyse der Entstehung und der Veränderung von Macht. Notwendig is...
O IDC-Associação para o Estudo do Direito do Consumo e o Centro de Investigação de Direito Privado (CIDP), ambos da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Lisboa, decidiram organizar em conjunto a presente compilação de «Estudos de Direito do Consumo». Atendendo à acentuada transversalidade sistémica que domina as matérias concernentes ao Direito do Consumo, entendeu-se que uma coletânea doutrinária com uma extensa concentração de estudos poderia desempenhar vários propósitos úteis, servindo, em especial, para apoiar a aplicação judicial e a investigação jurídica, cujo labor é dificultado tanto pela fragmentação legislativa, como pela intensa dispersão multidisciplinar que afeta os sectores normativos delimitados pelas regulações de consumo.
