Details | The construction of a secure and safe society using information and communication technology (ICT) is recognised as an urgent issue in Japan. This recognition is based on public fear for crimes and the fear has created the social atmosphere that hasten to develop and implement security systems using ICT such as security cameras, smart IC cards and mobile phones to establish complete security and safety in Japanese society. However, the illimitable, never-ending quest for social security and safety with ICT will inevitably cause manufactured risk which should lead to serious problems in the future. We have to recognise such risk and control it appropriately. |
