A chapter in Managing Privacy through Accountability, 2012, pp 1-14 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It has become commonplace to suggest that a feature of modern public life is the invasion of privacy that occurs every day and in a variety of forms. Apparently, invasive surveillance activities are carried out in the name of preventing terrorism and stopping fraud. Discussions on crime control have become synonymous with surveillance technologies, information technologies, and databases. Meanwhile, talk of public and private life has witnessed a blurring of boundaries, in which privacy at times and in particular places appears compromised in the name of protecting the public.
