About

Dr. Clovia Hamilton is a leading scholar at the intersection of technology ethics, public policy, and criminal justice reform. Her research critically examines the deployment of emerging technologies in law enforcement, with a particular focus on the ethical and managerial challenges posed by artificial intelligence and robotics. In her highly cited 2022 work, "Smart Policing: Ethical Issues & Technology Management of Robocops," Dr. Hamilton tackles the urgent question of police accountability in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. She analyzes how the proliferation of body cameras, predictive algorithms, and autonomous systems can either exacerbate or mitigate systemic brutality. With over a dozen citations in just a few years, this paper has become a cornerstone for scholars studying the governance of police technology. Dr. Hamilton’s contributions are vital for students and researchers seeking to understand how to design oversight frameworks that rebuild trust between communities and law enforcement. Her work stands as a powerful call for responsible innovation, ensuring that technological progress serves justice rather than undermining it.
