Book Description
There were two purposes to this study. First, the study was designed to determine which Virginia public school districts have articulated policies that govern random student drug testing of students and if the school districts' policies aligned with U.S. Supreme Court standards and Virginia statutes. The second purpose was to ascertain the patterns of practice in selected Virginia school districts that currently conduct random drug testing of students. This included identifying which student groups were being tested and for which drugs. It was also of interest to learn how school districts monitor the testing program and if drug testing practices were aligned with the policies that govern them. The analyses revealed that the current policies and patterns of practice in random drug testing in Virginia public school comply with Supreme Court standards and state statutes. Student groups subject to testing in Virginia public schools include student athletes and students in extracurricular activities in grades eight through twelve. There is evidence that the school districts implementing random drug testing programs have strong community support for the program.
Introduction to Surveillance Studies
Author: J.K. PetersenPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1466555092
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Surveillance is a divisive issue—one might say it is inherently controversial. Used by private industry, law enforcement, and for national security, it can be a potent tool for protecting resources and assets. It can also be extremely invasive, calling into question our basic rights to freedom and privacy. Introduction to Surveillance Studies explores technological trends, past- and present-day rationales for surveillance and surveillance devices, and current social issues surrounding them. The book begins with a brief historical perspective on the evolution of surveillance technologies, then charts the development of modern-day devices from the invention of radar to the dawn of the Internet. Next, it describes emerging technologies—including GIS, GPS devices, Google Maps, biometric technology, surveillance cameras, global satellites, miniaturization of devices, and social media—that are challenging notions of privacy and the right of access to information. While focusing on the technology, the book also discusses surveillance as a phenomenon and what these technologies mean to our understanding of freedom, privacy, and the impact of technology on communications and the structure of society. Enhanced with numerous photos, the book presents the pros and cons—and some of the controversy—of these increasingly sophisticated technologies, their collective impact, and what the future may hold. It is ideal for those new to surveillance; security, military, and law enforcement professionals who utilize surveillance technologies; and students of privacy, constitutional freedom, journalism, and sociology.

Book Description
President Bush's 2006 budget earmarked 25.4 million dollars for increased drug testing of public school students. Proponents claim that drug testing reduces illegal drug use among students and gives students an alibi for not using. Opponents claim that drug testing is ineffective at best and possibly even harmful. Testing can foster distrust, push students toward drugs that aren't screened for, and inhibit student participation in extracurricular activities. This volume provides a compilation of articles and essays that take opposing viewpoints on the issues of teen drug testing. Essay sources include the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, Drug Detection Report, Amitava Dasgupta, and Robert L. DuPont.
