Bureaucratic Surveillance

According to Ericson and Haggerty (1997), bureaucratic surveillance is "the production and distribution of knowledge useful for risk managment and administration-[and]constitiutes populations in every conceivable area of social life" (p. 95).

"...subordinates are so groomed to the role of self-watchers as to render redundant the watchtowers in the Bentham/foucault scheme" (Bauman & Lyong, 2013, p. 59).

According to Dandeker (1990), bureaucratic organizations are concerned with managing both internal and external boundaries: internally through police surveillance and externally through military” (p. 58).
