Produktbeschreibung
Rapid adoption and expansion of the CCTV systems in Turkey as well as all over the world have produced a fair amount of technological determinism among many law enforcement officials, which Norris and Armstrong (1999, p. 9) define as an unquestioning belief in the power of technology.
