'We Call it Getting Your Eye In': Policing Sexual Harassment on the London Underground Through the Lens of Haraway's Situated Knowledges and Cyborgs.

This article examines how the British Transport Police (BTP) perceive and police sexual harassment on the London Underground, emphasizing the interplay between officers' situated knowledges and the use of technology. Drawing on 15 semi-structured interviews, it reveals that BTP officers combine their embodied, experiential understanding of the transit environment with technological tools such as CCTV and smart card data to detect, investigate, and map incidents of sexual harassment. The article introduces the concept of a "soft cyborg ontology" to describe this hybrid human-machine knowledge system, highlighting how police culture and technology are deeply intertwined in shaping investigative practices and epistemologies. It also discusses the limitations and challenges in policing sexual offences, including the partial and mediated nature of police knowledge and the impact of organizational priorities on which incidents are investigated.
