      abstract = {"PREFACE This book sets the groundwork for understanding  surveillance technologies by describing contemporary  devices and current legislation in their historical  context. The stepping stones that led to where we are today  will make it easier to understand the basic 'ingredients'  of today's more sophisticated devices, and will help create  a mental map for understanding more specialized texts on  radar, sonar, video cameras, satellite imaging, and genetic  profiling. This book is suitable as a general reference and  also as a foundation text for post-secondary institutions  offering surveillance studies courses. Understanding  Surveillance Technologies was published as the first  comprehensive, introductory overview of the field of  surveillance devices. The current Handbook of Surveillance  Technologies comprises 18 chapters with more than 700  photos and illustrations. It is suitable for college  surveillance studies in sociology and political science,  professional recruiting programs, and as a reference for  beginning professionals in the fields of law enforcement,  forensics, and military surveillance. It is also an  indispensable reference for journalists, lawmakers, and  community planners. It has been designed with a flexible,  modular format so the chapters can be read in almost any  order and chapters that share common topics are  cross-referenced to alert the reader. We are all being  surveilled. It is no longer possible to avoid cameras, DNA  tests, identity chips, border crossing cameras, highway  monitors, ATMs, radio-chipped goods and ID cards, and other  devices that record our movements, finances, and even our  health"--},
