Overview
Using George Orwell's 1984 as a backdrop, this volume examines existing trends and future directions in the use of electronic surveillance, lie detectors, and aversive "treatment" of criminal offenders. Also assesses the outlook for innovative methods of crime control, such as the prediction of criminal behavior and the techniques used in utopian communities.
Editorials
Freda Adler

The message is clear) justice can, indeed, be served without threats to our personal privacy....it is refreshing to find a book which suggests the exploration of the correlates of low crime societies that are characterized by social harmony....Book Details
