Description	This is a book about watching people. It examines the rise of camera-based surveillance that is embodied in the proliferation of closed circuit television cameras (CCTV). In Britain it is now virtually impossible to move through public (and increasingly private) space without being photographed and recorded. Whatever our role as we pass through the urban landscape we are subject to the presence of the cameras. As consumers we are monitored by the routine use of cameras in retail outlets; whether in the supermarket, department store or comer shop. When we leave the store our image, in all probability, will be captured by high street, town centre and shopping mall camera systems. On our journey home, traffic cameras will monitor our compliance with speed and red light restrictions and, if we travel by rail, cameras at stations and along platforms will ensure a record of our presence. In other roles, whether it be as workers on the factory floor or at the office, as students, from kindergarten to university, as hospital patients, football fans or even customers at a local restaurant, cameras are probably watching over us. Put simply, in urban Britain, at the cusp of the millennium, in almost every area to which the public have access we are under surveillance from CCTV. Book Name: The Maximum Surveillance Society
