Opis

Does the development of new technology cause an increase the level of surveillance used by central government? Is the growth in surveillance merely a reaction to terrorism or a solution to crime control? Are there more structural roots for the increase in surveillance? This book attempts to find some answers to these questions by examining how governments have increased their use of surveillance technology.
