Abstract

The growth of surveillance technology in relation to crime prevention raises questions about the effectiveness of such tools in altering behavior. This essay provides an examination of surveillance technology through psychological theories and propose that ideas such as social-identity theory and shame culture help to explain where surveillance technology may succeed or fail to prevent crime.
