Surveillance is a feature used by the modern government. Surveillance is supposedly used by the government for preventing /investigating crimes and gathering information, however it can also be used by criminal organisations for planning and committing crimes, which is ironic. Technology allows the government to track online activities, people’s movements and communications. Most people would consider surveillance a breach of privacy and it is opposed by numerous activist groups since most authoritarian governments don’t have any domestic restrictions, which means that governments are allowed to access your information whenever they choose without relevant justification. George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty Four” warn of the negative effects of surveillance and how the government can use it to control people. It is believed if…

The first step in studying a phenomenon such as stalking is to con¬duct descriptive and correlational studies that provide information on how and why stalking occurs. Another important area of study is the analysis of antecedents, or early signs of stalking, that might be used to pre¬dict the behavior in specific situations or in certain individuals. In this con¬text, early signs of stalking constitute either of the following: (a) problem behaviors in the social relationships of children or adolescents that could be viewed as early manifestations of obsessional following in a specific instance, or (b) childhood risk factors that suggest someone might stalk another person later in life. One reason for exploring the potential early signs of stalking in young people is that it broadens the application of mate¬rial presented thus far by raising awareness of those risk factors that can be targeted for treatment. In this way, preventive programs can be implement¬ed early on so that the risk of stalking might be reduced. A final reason for examining potential risk factors for stalking is that some problem behaviors in childhood that overlap with stalking, such as bullying and sexual harass¬ment, have been more extensively studied and can provide direction for the design of preventive programs for stalking and obsessional following.…
Getting spied on by the government on a daily basis is abnormal. In the novel, “1984” by George Orwell that's exactly what was occurring. The people in this society were always being watched and “big brother” knew what people were doing most of the time. Living in a place like that seems eerie and frightening. In the novel, they repeat this quote which is odd yet true in today's society. The quote is “ war is peace, freedom is slavery and ignore is strength.”…

The concept of living in a surveillance society with no fear as long as individuals have nothing to hide sounds ideal; but even if people are not guilty of committing a crime, there are a number of reasons why loss of privacy should concern them. A significant concern is that the…
