Governing through Biometrics Reviews

This book breaks new ground and can inform any researcher or student who wishes to pursue biometrics in more detail. It is a book that is suggestive of the need for us to act quickly so that we might see the intensification of biometric processes and understand them in terms of their broader social implications for identity, citizenship and community. - Information, Communciation and Society
