Series: America Debates
Description: This title is a balanced exploration of the debate on privacy versus security in post-9/11 America. An accessible examination of the Constitutional definition of the right to privacy is included, and scholars weigh in on the debate. Increased surveillance is discussed, with a look at whether it has paid off so far, and if it is worth the cost.
