Current Spikes In Home RobberyIn my own neighborhood, the news reports that there has been a recent spike in home robbery. The few months before summer temperatures start to rise and homeowners begin to leave their windows open throughout the day and night. Authorities advise that you keep your doors and windows locked while you are away from home and in the evenings when you’ve gone to bed. As state above, a large number of burglaries are simply crimes of convenience and opportunity where burglars target homes that are easy to get into. Outside of having a home security system installed, closing a window is a really simple way of keeping burglars out of your home. Landscaping Home Security TechniquesAs mentioned above lights are an excellent way to keep away burglars. A porch light and even garden lights are an investment that not only protect you but enhance the look of your home. Phoenix construction contractors in my area have new modern styles of gates for homes as well that are probably available in your city too. Any signs of a home being difficult to enter will help keep away burglars who want an easy entrance. A fence with good locks will add to your home’s protection. And if your town is like mine where Phoenix construction services are abundant then you can find a really affordable installation price.

With government surveillance, surveillance by citizens for fun or to gather information and monitory peoples’ activities, store and street video cameras, and private cameras set up outside and inside residences, not to mention surveillance from other countries gathering intelligence of this countries systems, it is hard to imaging anywhere or anytime we might not be under surveillance. Where we have come to and the potential for even further exploitation of our privacy and personal information that gets accidently scooped up with actual targeted data like dolphins when they are fishing for tuna would like have given even George Orwell nightmares. Most of what we know about developing governmental surveillance programs and America’s growing hacking efforts comes from top secret NSA documents provided by Edward Snowden, infamous whistleblower who handed documents to journalists and is still on the run. Although there are laws against persecuting whistleblowers who reports something in good faith, and their names are supposed to remain anonymous, this almost never happens. Subsequent to Snowden, another whistleblower, John Crane, came forward supporting the information delivered by Snowden. The irony was that Crane, formerly an assistant inspector general at the Pentagon, was in charge of protecting whistleblowers but when the system failed felt obligated to become one himself. While there was a public outcry after Snowden’s disclosures, there was little change in opinion demonstrated by several poll. In 2006, a NSA surveillance poll indicated that 51 percent of those surveyed found NSA’s surveillance policy to be acceptable while 47 percent found it unacceptable. In a Pew Research poll carried out a month after Snowden’s disclosures although there was some indication that people changed their behavior in terms of electronic security, attitudes about government surveillance remained similar. According to the Pew Research Center:In summary, George Orwell’s novel, 1984, presents what is often considered to be a frightening picture of the use of surveillance data collected by the government. While much of what Orwell seemed to fear has become a reality in today’s world, the current reality of the negative consequences of participatory surveillance far surpasses what Orwell envisioned.
