    Relative deprivation, marginalisation and subcultures.

  3. 3

    How does CCTV surveillance operate as a form of social control?

    Model answer

    By creating awareness of being watched, which deters potential offenders from committing crimes.

  4. 4

    What is the purpose of electronic tagging in the criminal justice system?

    Model answer

    To monitor offenders in the community as an alternative to custody.

  5. 5

    What does the panopticon concept describe about surveillance and behaviour?

    Model answer

    How the possibility of constant surveillance leads to self-regulation of behaviour, as individuals modify their conduct when they believe they might be watched.

  6. 6

    Explain why the panopticon is relevant to understanding modern surveillance.

    Model answer

    It illustrates how people regulate their own behaviour when they believe they might be watched, which applies to CCTV and other surveillance technologies in contemporary society.
