 | Privacy Subjects: Law; Reference & Information Science; Human Rights Law & Civil Liberties; Library & Information Science; Jurisprudence & General Issues; Jurisprudence & Philosophy of Law; Privacy is a complex and controversial right. The essays in this book address fundamental issues about its value and how best it may be defined. Some of them examine its importance and scope in the context of the information society in which both government and business acquire ever more knowledge about the conduct and attitudes of individuals. Others address the use of privacy to protect the rights of women and to protect individuals against the media. Eric Barendt |
