This volume presents recent insights in the sociological study of
surveillance and governance in the context of criminal justice and
other control strategies. The chapters provide a varied set of
theoretical perspectives and substantive research domains on the
qualities and quantities of some of the most recent transformations
of social control as well as their historical precursors in diverse
social settings. The contributors to this volume testify to the
increasing relevance of surveillance and governance across the
globe as well as the cross-national study thereof. Among the
central issues discussed is the relationship between state and
non-state mechanisms of surveillance.
Moreover, many of the new technologies that a decade ago led to
analytical reflections of the highest order today have become banal
in their everyday application and routine diffusion. What can
sociologists intelligently say about these developments in both
empirical and theoretical respects? Creatively exploring many
facets of the broader constellation of contemporary surveillance
and governance strategies with respect to both crime control and
related developments, the contributors of this volume offer
provocative and thoughtful reflections that will stimulate our
theoretical thinking about relevant issues.
* A contemporary study of surveillance and governance
