Social control of deviant behavior and crime is changing rapidly. ELENA, data retention, video surveillance, and ever-new anti-terror measures or tightening of penal laws seem to be discussed in the current political landscape independently of one another. However, they are actually expressions of a new formation of social control that operates with techniques of self-management, control, and exclusion. This book presents this fundamental transformation and analyzes it against the backdrop of the economic, socio-cultural, and discursive upheavals of recent years. These form the basis for the state and society to redefine crime and deviance today and respond to them differently. A comprehensive compilation of the fundamental features and development lines of late-modern security architectures.
