The culture of control

The United States and the United Kingdom have both become nations of stringent social control, from rapidly growing prison populations to ever increasing surveillance, curtailment of civil liberties, and restriction of the underclass. The Culture of control charts the evolution of this approach to law and order—politically, legally, and in terms of the average citizen's view of criminal "others" and their civil liberties.
