Description

As schools face increasing threats from terrorism and school shootings, many institutions are turning to advanced techno-security equipment. From surveillance cameras to microchip tracking systems, these technologies are becoming standard in the modern educational environment. Selling Us the Fortress provides a deep look into this shifting landscape. This book serves as the first qualitative study exploring the direct relationship between the security industry and educational institutions. It examines how technologies originally designed for warfare have moved into the classroom and hallways. The text investigates the necessity of this equipment and analyzes who truly benefits from its implementation. Readers will gain insight into how school personnel are marketed these security solutions and the impact of mass installation on the school environment. This work is an essential resource for those studying the sociology of security and the changing nature of public institutions.
