Surveillance in Europe is an accessible, definitive and comprehensive overview of the rapidly growing multi-disciplinary field of surveillance studies in Europe. Written by experts in the field, including leading scholars, the Companion’s clear and up to date style will appeal to a wide range of scholars and students in the social sciences, arts and humanities.

+ the surveillance industry in Europe
+ the instrumentality of surveillance for preventing and detecting crime and terrorism
+ social and economic costs
+ impacts of surveillance on civil liberties
+ resilience in Europe’s surveillance society

+ findings and recommendations regarding surveillance in Europe
Surveillance in Europe's interdisciplinary approach and accessible content makes it an ideal companion to academics, policy-makers and civil society organisations alike, as well as appealing to top level undergraduates and postgraduates.
