My Interdisciplinary PhD research is a mixed method study aiming to uncover how the uncover how the multifarious nature of digital surveillance technology influences community perceptions of risk. Stage One uses a psychometric risk framework as a benchmark to compare surveillance technologies in contemporary society with other known risk activities or societal hazards to understand how digital surveillance is comparatively perceived. Stage Two employs the use of focus group exploratory discussion, to examine those perpetual estimations of risk by lay people are not construed principally by the dynamic relationship of familiar and dread risk but are also influenced by a complex interplay of socio-cultural and demographics factors.
Subsequently these findings have helped to elucidate the concerns of the broader community and how individuals navigate perceived technological surveillance risk.
