SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Technologies of InSecurity examines how general social and political concerns about terrorism, crime, migration and globalisation are translated into concrete practices of surveillance and securitisation of everyday life. The book is based on contributions from an international panel of leading criminologists, lawyers and surveillance scholars and provides new insights about how broader political issues are translated into concrete and local practices of social control and exclusion."--Jacket.
