Abstract
This article constitutes an exercise in reflection on how to apply different technologies in the formal control of criminal practices and how they end up transforming a societal organization and its conceptions of what crime is and, consequently, the criminal. This reflection is based on the analysis of the first season of the Japanese cyberpunk anime Psycho-Pass , centered around the theme of fighting crime in a dystopian future. Following the potential of converging technologies and the principles of life course criminology, we describe how the different technologies are framed in the construction of elements of criminal deterrence, we explore formal social control mechanisms developed and applied by their social agents, we reflect on the social reconfigurations of what crime and the criminal are and we identify the types of factors which are advanced for the explanation of the criminal involvement of individuals.
