Foucault Response

The reading of Foucault hit home because it touched the issue of surveillance. This was an issue for me because in my community surveillance is a form of protection that is needed tremendously. I feel it's needed because there are high crimes that occur often during all times of day such as robbings, shootings, and stabbings. It's even worse because the school are being affected because the young adults are focusing more on sneaking weapons into their school instead of completing their school work and passing all of their city/state exams. The crime rate that occurs has became higher to me, due to not having any form of surveillance in my neighborhood because people know that most people will mind their business because they are usually afraid of the repercussions that may occur if they share information or what they seen with police. I also feel that it creates a boost of a high for the person committing the crime because they know that no one is there to stop them from harming someone or something unless their is a officer around and sometimes that doesn't even matter.
The installment of surveillance cameras in my neighborhood would help in making the area safe. I feel the cameras will make it a bit safer because people will have second thoughts as their going to commit a crime and most likely won't commit if they know it will be easier to find them due to having pictures of their face. It will also change the corrupted mind set of the youth and actually make them realize that crime will not get them their own homes,cars, and the money to support their families; but that a education will. I hope that eventually there will be a change made in some form of surveillance will be implemented to make a change in the area completely.
