The SAGE Encyclopedia of Surveillance, Security, and Privacy

The SAGE Encyclopedia of Surveillance, Security, and Privacy, 1st Edition, provides a comprehensive reference examining how surveillance functions across contemporary global society. Written by Bruce A. Arrigo, the work analyzes how surveillance mechanisms operate across personal, political, economic, and judicial structures to affect security and privacy.

The volume covers state and national security surveillance alongside routine commercial tracking. It explores corporate and economic monitoring practices, addressing topics such as workplace identification logs, internet tracking, and consumer transaction records.

Containing roughly 600 signed articles prepared by international scholars, the reference includes a Reader's Guide that arranges content by broad thematic areas. Each entry concludes with cross-references and recommended further readings to assist student research.
