Create a flyer for "Surveillance and Crime"

This book gives the reader a good introduction to the many facets of modern surveillance. It is well researched and the authors present this in a way that is accessible for the students.

Coleman offers a good overview of various debates on surveillance. This is good for the part of a third year core theory unit taught at MMU which focuses on cities, exclusion, regulation and surveillance.

An absolute must for any student wishing to get to grips with and develop an understanding of surveillance and its pevasive nature.

May be useful as supplementary reading for our first year module on punishment. Particularly pp.16-31 due to the links with Foucault's work on punishment and surveillance.

Brilliant... an important addition to current research in this area. Well argued developing the core issues of 'crime' 'power' and the state. Very relevant for the current Crime & Security module.

An excellent, informed and thought provoking text for undergraduate study.This will be the key text for this module as it reflects learning outcomes of the module.

An attempt, mainly successful, to provide a resource for those interested in both the ethics and processes of the surveillance society.
One area which could be addressed min future editions is the issue of the public carrying out surveillance on the state.

This is an excellent, well structured approach to subject of surveillance and crime. The book will provide students with a thoroughly grounded approach to the theory of surveillance - linked very clearly to wider social and global developments surrounding surveillance. It will also give them the intellectual tools to approach all aspects of surveillance as we observe in modern society.

A useful overview of key issues in surveillance, particularly in relation to power, policing and cultures of control

This book is useful as both an introduction to Criminology and an Introduction to Surveillance Studies. The Section on The Historical Foundations of Surveillance was particularly good, and in general the language and style is accessible and easy to follow. I would recommend this book for any undergraduate studies of Surveillance

This text provides a detailed analysis of crime, power and social control. With surveillance being unavoidable in contemporary society, this is a must read

Surveillance & Crime offers undrgraduate students an accessible text that deals with the complexities of surveillance and its effects. In particular, readers are directed to the 'net widening' technologies of contemporary surveillance systems and 'non-state' surveillance methodologies. The interaction between formal systems and informal systems of control are presented as an ongoing thread that maintains a focus on the effects on those who are subject to broad ranging systems of conceptual and practical methodologies.

Good book

Crucial reading in times of increased surveillance and control in society. It provides students with the context of its development and an examination of risk together with useful critiques on the power and prevalence of surveillance and its use by politicians in policy and constructing relations.

This is an excellent text that will prove to be very useful for our level 5 students undertaking a module: Crime in an Operational Context. I am keen to introduce 'Surveillance' as a topic choice for the module and the students will be directed to this text. The text will be added to our recommended list for the module.

A useful text which is appropriate for this varied Unit.

I have requested my librarian to order copies and the text is added to our reading lists, as well as recommendations to students. Thank you.
