Utilising sources that range from 16th century parish registers to
the 21st century supermarket loyalty card, this collection examines
the history and development of identification documents and
surveillance techniques over the past 500 years. Combining the
knowledge of several experts from a variety of disciplines, this
volume successfully demonstrates how identification and
registration can enable and empower a population, particularly if
the interests of the state and population coincide. It also reveals
the weakness of states or corporations when dealing with issues
such as popular resistance and fraud, despite great leaps forward
in the scientific methods of identifying individuals. This
important book offers a vital contribution to the literature on a
variety of topical subject areas such as biometric identification,
immigration control and personal data use, as such it is of
interest to students and scholars of civil and human rights amongst
other disciplines.
