Exemplified with examples, including the Aberfan disaster, the death of Baby P, and Mid Staffs Hospital, this book explores parallel conflicts over access to information and privacy. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) allows access to information about public organisations but can be in conflict with the Data Protection Act, protecting personal information. Exploring the use of the FOIA as a research tool, Sheaff offers a unique contribution to the development of sociological research methods, and debates connected to privacy and secrecy in the information age. This book will provide sociologists and social scientists with a fresh perspective on contemporary issues of power and control. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 137-148) and index. 650 0 $a Government accountability $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Responsibility $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Privacy $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Freedom of information $z Great Britain. 650 7 $a Freedom of information. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934017 650 7 $a Government accountability. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01746414 650 7 $a Privacy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077437 650 7 $a Responsibility. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01095857 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9783030116866 830 0 $a Palgrave pivot. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=27933A021B1B11EAA846F92397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
