Summary

"Electronic Surveillance" delves into the pervasive world of digital monitoring, exploring the technologies, entities, and implications of modern surveillance. The book examines how our daily lives are increasingly scrutinized through sophisticated AI-driven platforms, far beyond simple CCTV systems. It highlights the delicate balance between potential benefits, such as crime prevention, and the risks to individual privacy and democratic freedoms.

The text progresses from introducing key surveillance concepts to exploring their applications by governments, corporations, and individuals. It culminates in an analysis of societal impacts and proposes regulatory frameworks. Drawing on academic research, government reports, and case studies, the book offers a comprehensive view of electronic surveillance's technical, psychological, and ethical dimensions. It stands out for its accessible approach, combining technical explanations with real-world examples to make complex concepts understandable to a general audience interested in technology and civil liberties.

Throughout its chapters, "Electronic Surveillance" addresses crucial topics such as data collection methods, cybersecurity challenges, and the evolution of privacy rights in the digital age. It provides practical guidance on protecting personal privacy and discusses ongoing debates surrounding national security needs versus individual rights. By offering a nuanced perspective on this critical issue, the book equips readers with the knowledge to navigate and engage meaningfully in discussions about our increasingly monitored world.

Inclusive Design for...

Professor Jonathan Hassell

Most organisations are oblivious to, or terrified about, web accessibility.
You may be aware that 20% of your customers – people with disabilities – could be clicking away from your websites or mobile apps every day, without having bought anything or found the information they needed. You may have received complaints about accessibility problems you don't understand, with people asking for what seem like impossible fixes. Your web teams may have read the industry standard WCAG guidelines, but found them impenetrable. You probably know you could be sued if you don't do the right thing, but you don't know how far you need to go to prevent that. And apart from eliminating risk, what else is in it for your organisation?
In this audiobook, award-winning international accessibility thought-leader Jonathan Hassell shows you how to transform your organisation to consistently and cost-efficiently create websites, mobile apps and other digital products that are usable for all of your customers.
Inclusive Design for Organisations  gives you a clear, strategic business-aligned framework how to embed accessibility policies and processes consistently throughout your organisation, and how to measure the return on your investment.
With insights from leading worldwide accessibility experts who have implemented these processes in their organisations, this book comes with a free library of downloadable support tools, templates, podcasts and videos to help you on your journey to accessibility maturity.
