More than just tools to monitor ordinary people, surveillance technologies are imagined by government officials as a way to reform the national state by focusing on the material things—cellular phones, automobiles, human bodies—that can enable crime. In describing the challenges that the Mexican government has encountered in implementing this novel approach to social control, Keith Guzik presents surveillance technologies as a sign of state weakness rather than strength and as an opportunity for civic engagement rather than retreat.Making Things StickSecurity systemsCrime preventionElectronic surveillanceSocial controlgovernment policysecurity systemselectronic surveillancemexicosocial controlcrime preventionCarIdentity documentRadio-frequency identificationSecurity systems.Crime prevention.Electronic surveillance.Social control.363.2Guzik Keith944509NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910136643903321Making things stick2132123UNINA
