A multidisciplinary Canadian research initiative

SCAN provides reliable research resources on surveillance camera use in Canada, from cabs and corner stores to national CCTV networks.

SCAN is committed to empirically-based, theoretically informed, and ethically-sensitive research to advance human knowledge and to contribute to evidence-based policy and practice.

SCAN is a collaborative group of university academics, policy-makers and relevant practitioners that also interacts with surveillance camera scholars globally.

SCAN promotes awareness of surveillance camera issues through accessible publications, a web site and cooperation with media contacts.
