520 1 "Snitch! is a study of intelligence informers - people who
secretly supply information to a domestic state security
agency. Going back through history, from the rise of the
modern security state to today's ongoing war on terror,
Snitch! addresses the reasons people, such as Ronald
Reagan or Walt Disney, choose to inform, why the state
needs informers, and how information is both gathered and
transmitted." "The wide-ranging research conducted by
Steve Hewitt details both the practical and political
aspects of informing, supported by numerous examples from
various countries, including the United States, the United
Kingdom, and the former Soviet Union. Hewitt argues that
although the scale of the use of informers by domestic
security agencies may differ from nation to nation, the
nature of their use and the impact on those targeted do
not. Often, the targets of this type of surveillance,
especially in democratic societies, are individuals or
groups marginalized in some way due to their political
beliefs, gender, ethnicity, social class, or religion."--
