Coleman reviews the main historical schools of thought including Durkheim and structural functionalists, Marx and other historical materialists, and Foucault and his followers. This is a critical review in which the author attempts to point out the weakness of these approaches in explaining the use of CCTV systems. In particular, he argues that the structural functionalist and Foucauldian approaches fail to pay adequate attention to the central role of the state in orienting the use of social control techniques.
While Foucault and post Foucauldian scholars of governmentality have deminstrated that power is exercised in a more diffuse fashion than acknowledged by the Marxists, they fail to show how the state is a focal point for the organization of power. In addition, they treat power and control as ethically and politically neutral rather than calling into question who benefits from them.
In response, Coleman suggests that we need a material analysis of social control that looks at the role of the state in organizing ideologies, norms, and sovereign territorial structures of control that are situated in a specific political economic context. Coleman describes this as a form of entrepreneurial urbanism in which local governments coordinate with local businesses to maximize their competitive advantages relative to other cities both nationally and internationally.
In order for this expansion to be successful, the city center had to be made safe for visitors and CCTV was conceived as a way to accomplish this.
