Policing & Surveillance

Policing

The modern police culture has undoubtedly been shaped by a variety of historical, cultural, and economic influences. In order to truly understand interactions with law at the enforcement level, this culture needs to be investigated and understood. Surveillance is the monitoring of behavior and information. How the government and law enforcement agencies choose to practice surveillance greatly impacts ideas of privacy and autonomy.
