It has been said that the study of surveillance has been particularly good at studying the watchers, but not as good as studying the watched. This book marks a decisive break with Foucauldian perspectives by placing the subjects of surveillance on centre stage. Based on a large research project based in a Northern City in the UK and focusing mainly on the use of surveillance in the context of policing and security, Michael McCahill explores how a diverse range of social groups ( school children, political protesters, persistent offenders, flawed consumers, global migrants, and police officers ) experience and respond to being monitored by a wide range of new surveillance technologies (CCTV cameras, Electronic Monitoring, and drug testing) used across the public-private divide.
Michael McCahill was born in Glasgow and joined the School of Social Sciences at the University of Hull in September 2001, having completed his BA Sociology (First Class Honours), MA Criminology and PhD at Hull. Dr McCahill's main research interests focus on the social impact of 'new surveillance' technologies and the mutually reinforcing relationship between crime, surveillance and media. His books include The Surveillance Web (Willan) (winner of the British Society of Criminology book prize 2003) and Surveillance and Crime (Sage) with Roy Coleman. Rachel L. Finn has lived in various cities in the USA, briefly in Ireland and in Manchester, UK for the last 10 years and received her BA in Sociology and Psychology from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. Dr Finn started an MA/PhD programme at Northeastern University in Boston, USA and transferred to the University of Manchester where she finished her PhD. After her PhD Dr Finn worked as a Research Associate at the University of Manchester and the University of Hull. Since 2010, she has been working for Trilateral Research & Consulting, a London-based research firm specializing in providing policy and regulatory advice about security, surveillance, privacy and the ethical impacts of new technologies.
