闭路电视（CCTV）的使用在过去十年中急剧增加，但它的存在往往是如此微妙，以至于不被注意到。我们应该不假思索地接受加强监控符合公众的最佳利益，还是这意味着“老大哥”终于在监视我们了？这本书提出了关于最大监控社会崛起的挑衅性问题。控制犯罪是加强监视的主要动机，还是原因更复杂？监控是否侵犯了人们的隐私权？谁被监视，为什么？它对社会控制有什么影响？监控真的能减少犯罪吗？技术的发展对监控的未来意味着什么？被监视的个人有哪些权利？当局如何使用通过闭路电视收集的信息？基于对英国自动监控的两年多的广泛实地调查，本书不仅试图回答这些令人烦恼的问题，而且还提供了大量关于社会控制背后的推理和影响的详细信息。
The use of Closed-Circuit Television, or CCTV, has dramatically increased over the past decade, but its presence is often so subtle as to go unnoticed. Should we unthinkingly accept that increased surveillance is in the public's best interests, or does this mean that 'Big Brother' is finally watching us? This book asks provocative questions about the rise of the maximum surveillance society. Is crime control the principal motivation behind increased surveillance or are the reasons more complex? Does surveillance violate peoples' right of privacy? Who gets surveilled and why? What are its implications for social control? Does surveillance actually reduce crime? What will developments in technology mean for the future of surveillance? What rights do individuals under surveillance have? How is the information gathered through CCTV used by the authorities?Based on extensive fieldwork on automated surveillance in Britain over a two-year period, this book not only attempts to answer these vexing questions, but also provides a wealth of detailed information about the reasoning behind and effects of social control.
