Mike Sheaff’s fascinating book is a timely investigation into the ways in which organisations can use a discourse of privacy to justify the withholding of information that threatens their power. Sheaff explores the implications of secrecy for trust in the ‘truths’ made available in the public sphere. This is essential reading for all who are interested in holding decision-makers to account.” – John Scott, Fellow of the British Academy and the Academy of Social Sciences; Visiting Professor, University of Essex, UK “For anyone with an interest in the decline of public trust this important book marks a major advance in the sociological study of ‘dark secrets’. Mike Sheaff demonstrates how a critical and politically engaged sociologist might use the UK Freedom of Information Act to expose costs and consequences of institutional corruption that results under the worst excesses of neo-liberal governmental reforms. This is vital public sociology.” Iain Wilkinson, Professor of Sociology, University Of Kent, UK “Based on the author’s experiences investigating public sector bodies in the UK, Sheaff lays bare the nuances and complexities of doing investigative research and interpreting the results. Any social scientist who studies public sector activity should want to read this book.” – Kevin Walby, Associate Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Winnipeg, Canada Public mistrust of those in authority and failings of public organisations frame disputes over attribution of responsibility between individuals and systems. 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. ER -
