CCTV and Policing is the first major published work to present a
comprehensive assessment of the impact of CCTV on the police in
Britain. Drawing extensively upon empirical research, the volume
examines how the police in Britain first became involved in public
area surveillance, and how they have since attempted to use CCTV
technology to prevent, respond to, and investigate crime. In
addition, the volume also provides a detailed analysis of the
legality of CCTV surveillance in light of recent changes to the
Data Protection Act and the incorporation of the European
Convention on Human Rights. Challenging many existing accounts of
the relationship between the police and new surveillance
technologies, CCTV and Policing breaks new ground in policing and
surveillance theory, and argues that it is time for a major
reassessment of both our understanding of how the police respond to
technological change, and of the role played by such technologies
in our society.
