For this assignment, you need to produce a 350-word analysis of a fieldwork setting. The fieldwork setting is a typical bank branch. The security measures at this bank are: – HD CCTV cameras – Security guards by the entrance – Physical security shutters (which used when the bank is shut)   Using at least 2 of these security measures, you will need to relate these security features to academic literature based on criminological risk theories (the risk society, governing through risk or you can use both theories). For example, for CCTV in use, you might draw upon a book or article about CCTV, and use that to say something about Pat O’Malley’s or Jonathan Simon’s work on risk through the governmentality approach or Ulrich Beck’s work on the risk society.  You could show how one of the theories from the module explains the practices you have observed, and / or show how the site you have observed either supports or disproves one of the theories. Ultimately, what you’re trying to do is use some empirical evidence (your observations) to engage with the arguments that scholars have put forward about crime risk and its management.

Please talk about at least 3 of these points below (these points are arguments against torture in terrorism): 1) Torture deprives humans of dignity which is the fundamental human condition to have access to rights 2) Torture is ineffective as a means to acquire information. Torture could generate lies and not the pursuit of truth): “For why should pain make me confess what is true rather than force me to say what is not true?” [Montaigne 2005: 78]  3) Normalization of torture (exception becomes the norm, Lukes 2005): ‘slippery slope’: removing the general prohibition (of torture) would soon dissolve inhibitions. Cruelty could become ‘normal’. 4) Torture dissolves the principles and functions of human rights: “if human rights apply only to a part of humanity, how can we demand to respect human rights?” [lawful vs. unlawful combatants, ‘us’ vs. ‘them’, etc.]
