Legislating Privacy Author: Priscilla M. Regan
ISBN: 9780807857496 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 336 Published: 16 June 2009 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 23.5 x 15.2 x 1.91 Description: While technological threats to personal privacy have proliferated rapidly, legislation designed to protect privacy has been slow and incremental. In this study of legislative attempts to reconcile privacy and technology, Priscilla Regan examines congressional policy making in three key areas: computerized databases, wiretapping, and polygraph testing. In each case, she argues, legislation has represented an unbalanced compromise benefiting those with a vested interest in new technology over those advocating privacy protection. Legislating Privacy explores the dynamics of congressional policy formulation and traces the limited response of legislators to the concept of privacy as a fundamental individual right.
