Central state and non-covert surveillance began in earnest at the
start of the twentieth century. By the start of the twenty-first
century, the UK was one of the most surveilled societies on earth.
This groundbreaking volume by Inga Kroener analyses the particular
combination of factors that have created this surveillance state.
Kroener argues against the inevitability of the rise of CCTV that
is so often found in this literature, to map out the early history
of CCTV, tracing its development from a tool for education, safety
and transport during the 1950s, to one of politics in the 1970s and
1980s, to eventually become a tool of surveillance during the
1990s. Within this analysis, the complex role of the public in
'allowing' the widespread and rapid dissemination of CCTV is
discussed and the representation of CCTV in the media is also
studied. This volume will be of interest to all scholars working in
the fields of surveillance studies; science, technology and society
departments; and social historians more generally.
