Description

This book contains essays by some of the leading commentators on the burgeoning academic field of Surveillance Studies, covering most if not all of the critical challenges of surveillance and population control; policing, intelligence and war; the new social networking media; the emerging capacities of geo-location, identity recognition and real time tracking. This innovative Handbook explores the empirical, theoretical and ethical issues around surveillance and its use in daily life. The Handbook’s direct, authoritative style will appeal to a wide range of scholars and students in the social sciences, arts and humanities. The Handbook takes a truly multi-disciplinary approach to critically question issues of: • surveillance and population control • policing, intelligence and war • production and consumption • new media • security • identification • regulation and resistance.
