Surveillance
presents a conundrum: how to ensure safety, stability, and efficiency
while respecting privacy and individual liberty. From police officers to
corporations to intelligence agencies, surveillance law is tasked with
striking this difficult and delicate balance. That challenge is
compounded by ever-changing technologies and evolving social norms.
Following the revelations of Edward Snowden and a host of private-sector
controversies, there is intense interest among policymakers, business
leaders, attorneys, academics, students, and the public regarding legal,
technological, and policy issues relating to surveillance. This
handbook documents and organizes these conversations, bringing together
some of the most thoughtful and impactful contributors to contemporary
surveillance debates, policies, and practices. Its pages explore
surveillance techniques and technologies; their value for law
enforcement, national security, and private enterprise; their impacts on
citizens and communities; and the many ways societies do - and should -
regulate surveillance.
