A propos de cet article

25 cm. xvi, 554, [4] pages. Includes footnotes. appendices, notes, bibliography, index. Minor page soiling. Some DJ wear. Frank J.

This can include observation from a distance by means of electronic equipment, or interception of electronically transmitted information (such as Internet traffic or phone calls); and it can include simple, relatively no- or low-technology methods such as human intelligence agents and postal interception. Surveillance is used by governments for intelligence gathering, the prevention of crime, the protection of a process, person, group or object, or for the investigation of crime. It is also used by criminal organizations to plan and commit crimes such as robbery and kidnapping, and by businesses to gather intelligence.

Many nations have laws which restrict domestic government and private use of surveillance, usually limiting it to circumstances where public safety is at risk. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. …
