Recenzii
'In Truth and Transparency, Alan Chen and Justin Marceau provide an insightful and thorough examination of the social and legal issues raised by undercover investigations. Chen and Marceau demonstrate that undercover investigations are a crucial element of the information-generation ecosystem that undergirds our society and our democracy, used in contexts far beyond the familiar ones of journalism and law enforcement. They closely examine the difficult moral and ethical issues raised by such investigations, which are after all based on deliberate lies, and they also carefully dissect the complex constitutional questions that arise when government officials seek to suppress such investigations. Truth and Transparency is an essential contribution to ongoing debates about the morality and legality of undercover investigations, and is a must-read for anyone with an interest in how, and how well, our society creates public awareness of lies and deceptions.' Ashutosh Bhagwat, University of California, Davis School of Law
'This timely, important, and fascinating book explores the legal, ethical, social, and technological dimensions of undercover investigations. Authors Chen and Marceau document the critical role undercover investigations play in uncovering abuses of power and galvanizing reform, analyze the ethical and legal constraints on such investigations, and expertly explain why blanket bans on such investigations, which often target deception or nonconsensual video recording, violate the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment to the US Constitution. Anyone who cares about accountability in the public sphere should read this well-written and meticulously researched study.' Lyrissa Lidsky, University of Florida Levin College of Law
'In Truth and Transparency, Alan Chen and Justin Marceau argue that undercover investigations and the right to record matters of public concern are vital to an informed public in a democratic society. They explain when the First Amendment should protect investigations and recordings and, conversely, when privacy interests should prevail. This is a comprehensive look at an important method of newsgathering in the digital age.' Jack M. Balkin, Yale Law School
'In this remarkable and important book, Chen and Marceau take a deep dive into the history, legality, ethics, and social significance of undercover investigations. Readers will learn of, among other things, journalism's evolving relationship to undercover investigations; the crucial role that such investigations have played throughout American history; social and legal backlash against undercover investigations; and First Amendment defenses against legislation that seeks to stymie such investigations. Above all, Chen and Marceau make a powerful case that undercover investigations - and the inconvenient truths that they expose -matter.' Heidi Kitrosser, Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law
'Marceau and Chen provide a crucial service with this book: bringing together a tight, persuasive, and empirically supported case for the role and value of undercover investigations as a uniquely powerful source of facts, upon which movements are built. This book can bring a new perspective for all audiences, but might be especially useful as a historical education and a guidebook for animal protection advocates or anyone else working in a social justice field.' Cheryl Leahy, Executive Director, Animal Outlook
'Truth and Transparency is the most original and comprehensive study of undercover investigations ever written. Chen and Marceau draw from history, ethics, law, policy, technology, and social science to provide their readers with a rich and insightful analysis of this provocative and paradoxical practice, wherein investigators engage in deception to uncover the truth about the behavior of powerful actors, both public and private. In so doing, the authors deliver a compelling evidence-based defense of the value of undercover investigations to a healthy democracy.' Helen Norton, University of Colorado School of Law
