Violence and surveillance in mental health wards

Abstract

It is estimated that there are now over four million closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras in Britain watching our every move. The increased use of CCTV monitoring and surveillance within public areas has received much research attention, and there is now a critical body of surveillance literature on the implications of such watching within urban and street settings.
