 Marx, Gary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Marx's essay addresses three elements of the emerging surveillance culture, the types of surveillance that are emerging, how they differ from traditional surveillance or social control methods, and some of the potential undesirable consequences.
While his essay was written in 1985, many of the concerns remain about 'big brother' watching over us and most of the technologies spoken of as 'new' are not a standard part of the American social scene.
Marx claims that one potentially negative outcome could be the misuse of these technologies toward powerless groups within society.

One of the strengths of the book, and of sociologist Gary Marx's more general work found in his many public speeches, articles, and research reports, is the broadness of his analysis.
While focusing on undercover policing, he discusses a much broader set of insights on the delicate and often difficult decisions that have to be made to establish a society that is based on law as well as on order.
Marx points out that undercover policing has developed from the society at large rather than as a rogue activity.

The start, said Republican organizer Gary Marx, could be a ballot measure to insert in the state Constitution a ban on same-sex marriage.

Marx provides an extensive review of the existent research literature (as well as his own research) to address the intended and unintended consequences of undercover work of police, suspects, informants, families, as well as non-participant third parties.
Marx suggests that assumptions (negative or positive) about the nature of undercover police work at best are often questionable.
However, Marx argues that the concern here is not all doom and gloom, but rather suggests that we should be critical of our current understanding of such technologies and how the proliferation of these emergent technologies simultaneously serve as a means for protecting and undermining our most cherished values.
