in a very limited way, with even less tools than today. Scale is a factor but there are a million other factors in "tightly knight communities" that corrected for what you call "antisocial" behavior.
I think you mean policing. The societal worth doesn't need to be established here.
Surveillance is the act of looking for suspicious behavior with the intent to find flaws. That wasn't a requirement to a society. If anything, these ideas lead to witch hunts.
Living closer together is not just mutual surveillance. That would be quite the stretch.
