Contemporary Issues: Drones and Surveillance

Today surveillance cameras are inescapable. They can be found in banks and stores. They are in schools parking lots and sports stadiums. They could even be in a neighbor’s doorbell. The world of constant surveillance concerns those who fear that anonymity is a thing of the past. Others praise the benefits of increased surveillance and the growing utility of drones for a variety of uses. This book explores a variety of issues related to surveillance and drone use. The CONTEMPORARY ISSUES series is intended to give young readers a better understanding of major social issues today. Each book examines four key questions related to a controversial topic with essays that detail the most commonly heard arguments on both sides of the discussion. The arguments contained within are supported by data from experts as well as nonpartisan reports allowing the reader to make his or her own informed decision on the issue.
