Introduction
I am going to be approaching the topic of surveillance and outlining the ways in which surveillance is used to deliver crime control and social welfare, how effective its use is and how it helps the citizens of society.

With the use of these types of surveillance they help maintain social control, recognising threats and prevent criminal activity. This form of surveillance is used around the world and is very effective in controlling an environment.
