Book Crime  Security and Surveillance

Download or read book Crime Security and Surveillance written by Gudrun Vande Walle and published by Eleven International Pub. This book was released on 2012 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surveillance society has significantly been discussed in social sciences over the last ten years. Phenomena like terrorist threats and illegal migration flows on the one hand, and an anxious Western population on the other, which seem to legitimize a considerable growth and sophistication of databases and surveillance technologies. Surveillance technologies may lead towards a more secure society for some. However, they also have a profound rearranging effect on society and may be a threat for fundamental human rights. For these reasons, social scientists have tried to slow down this fast-moving and self-evident evolution in the last ten years. In this volume, the debate continues by discussing the protagonists in the surveillance society: the surveillants and the surveilled. The book's contributions lay out the consequences of surveillance technologies in specific settings for: the large diversity of public, private, official, and informal surveillants * the diversity of included or excluded, rich or poor, anxious or careless people under surveillance * the social interaction of the different actors in surveillance settings.

Canadian scholars from diverse disciplines interrogate the moral and ideological bases as well as the material effects of surveillance in policing, consumerism, welfare administration, disaster management, popular culture, moral regulation, news media, social movements, and anti-terrorism campaigns.

Book Remote Sensing Tools for Exploration

Download or read book Remote Sensing Tools for Exploration written by Pamela Elizabeth Clark and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote Sensing from a New Perspective The idea for this book began many years ago, when I was asked to teach a course on remote sensing. Not long before that time, I had been part of the effort to develop the first database for planetary data with a common digital array format and interactive processing capabilities to correlate those data easily: the lunar consortium. All the available lunar remote sensing data were included, orbital and ground-based, ranging across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. I had used this powerful tool extensively, and, in that spirit, I was determined to create a course which covered the entire spectrum and a variety of targets. As I looked around for the equivalent of a textbook, which I was willing to pull together from several sources, I realized that available material was very heavily focused on the visual and near visual spectrum and on the Earth as a target. Even The Surveillant Science, edited by Edward Holz and published in 1973, which broke new ground in having diverse articles on most of the spectrum when it was created, focused entirely on the Earth. My personal favorite, the exceedingly well written book on remote sensing by Floyd Sabins first published in 1978, covered the visual, infrared, and microwave portions of the spectrum beautifully but focused on the Earth as well. Unhindered, I developed what I called ‘packets’ of material for each part of the spectrum.

Book Handbook of Scientific Methods of Inquiry for Intelligence Analysis

Download or read book Handbook of Scientific Methods of Inquiry for Intelligence Analysis written by Hank Prunckun and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the exponential growth in the intelligence field in the last few years, the profession has grown much larger and its mission more complex. Government and private sector security agencies have recruited intelligence analysts to process what has become a voluminous amount of raw information flowing into these agencies' data collection systems. Unfortunately, there is an unmet need for analysts who are able to process these data. For this reason there are a growing number of colleges and universities that offer intelligence training so that candidates for analyst positions can take-up their duties without protracted on-the-job instruction. Handbook of Scientific Methods of Inquiry for Intelligence Analysis offers students in such courses a way of gaining the analytic skills essential to undertake intelligence work. This book acquaints students and analysts with how intelligence fits into the larger research framework. It covers not only the essentials of applied research but also explains the function, structure, and operational methods specifically involved in intelligence work. It looks at how analysts work with classified information in a security conscious environment, as well as obtaining data via covert methods. Students are left with little doubt about what intelligence is and how it is developed using scientific methods of inquiry.

  • ISBN : 9780801882739
  • Pages : 304 pages

Download or read book From Warfare to Welfare written by Jennifer S. Light and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2005-09-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early decades of the Cold War, large-scale investments in American defense and aerospace research and development spawned a variety of problem-solving techniques, technologies, and institutions. From systems analysis to reconnaissance satellites to think tanks, these innovations did not remain exclusive accessories of the defense establishment. Instead, they readily found civilian applications in both the private and public sector. City planning and management were no exception. Jennifer Light argues that the technologies and values of the Cold War fundamentally shaped the history of postwar urban America. From Warfare to Welfare documents how American intellectuals, city leaders, and the federal government chose to attack problems in the nation's cities by borrowing techniques and technologies first designed for military engagement with foreign enemies. Experiments in urban problem solving adapted the expertise of defense professionals to face new threats: urban chaos, blight, and social unrest. Tracing the transfer of innovations from military to city planning and management, Light reveals how a continuing source of inspiration for American city administrators lay in the nation's preparations for war.
