Is anyone aware if any comparisons are available covering today’s
surveillance moving towards control culture and the SRM movements of the
1700's? Generically there do seem many similarities: -
Joined up working
Concern about the growing anonymity in residential areas and dreams of a
village type culture
Promotion of groups watching each other
Paternalistic surveillance promoting purity
Public control an issue in question
A concern with the security and stability of some social institutions
A great many similarities are visible in Alan Hunt's "Governing Morals. A
Social History of Moral Regulation." 1999., so could be as much to do with
when that was written.
