Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'SURVEILLE systematically reviews the impacts of different surveillance systems, and also helps manufacturers and end-users better to develop and deploy these systems. It is a multidisciplinary project combining law, ethics, sociology and technology analysis in a small number of highly collaborative, cross-cutting work packages. SURVEILLE will assess surveillance technology for its actual effectiveness in fighting crime and terrorism, for its social and economic costs, and will survey perceptions of surveillance in the general public and certain identified target groups. The investigation of societal and ethical aspects will focus on undesired side effects of surveillance systems. SURVEILLE will address legal limitations on the use of surveillance technologies as well as ethical constraints. SURVEILLE will include analysis of the potential of 'privacy by design' and privacy-enhancing technologies in the context of surveillance systems. It will interact with technology developers and manufacturers through a systematically delivered advisory service. The issues raised in the advisory service will in turn inform emphases in research deliverables. SURVEILLE will provide an interface with law enforcement officials to seek their feedback as results emerge from the research. The project aims at wide dissemination, including amongst European and national decision-makers. It will also contribute in the field of training of judges, prosecutors and the police. Partners within the SURVEILLE consortium strongly represent academic, commercial, law-enforcement and community actors connected with surveillance.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Keeping the public informed about surveillance technology and its compliance with human rights and ethical standards is made possible through identifying best practice approaches.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Surveillance technology is used to help fight crime and terrorism. Yet, with aims to make society a safer place come certain limitations and concerns, for example those relating to cost, effectiveness, ethics and legality.
The EU-funded project 'Surveillance: Ethical issues, legal limitations, and efficiency' (http://www.surveille.eu/ (SURVEILLE)) has set out to examine such potential issues with surveillance systems. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the project is reviewing the impacts of these various systems.
It will include a survey of perceptions about surveillance from the general public as well as some target groups. Costs and benefits will be assessed as will legal and ethical issues, and the results will be communicated to respective stakeholders for feedback.
To date, the project has been successful in meeting all of the above mentioned objectives set in the first period. Via an annual forum as well as social media, the project is making a significant contribution to keeping people informed about surveillance technologies and the concerns that surround them.
A final conference in spring 2015 is set to be a major European policy and media event.
