Synopses & Reviews
This is the first work to examine the phenomena of citizen espionage from the point of view of trust betrayal. Here is an effort to illuminate the social, political, and psychological conditions that influence trusted American citizens to spy against their country. The volume combines historical inquiry, sociological studies, psychological insights, and criminological analysis. It is especially timely when many nations, friend and foe alike, have instituted programs to obtain trade secrets and classified technology from American military and industrial sources.
Review
Citizen Espionage: Studies in Trust and Betrayal is a grabber. How can we detect very, very low probability events where the failure to do so can have catastrophic consequences? Psychologists have tried to answer that question, often in situations quite different from spying and betrayal, for the nearly five decades that I have been around. Citizen Espionage with its emphasis on multidisciplinary contributions, has, I believe, moved us closer to that goal.Contemporary Psychology
