Privacy and Criminal Justice

Exploring the concept of privacy, this book delves into the distinctions between public and private spheres while questioning law enforcement's role in both. It traces the origins of privacy, scrutinizes policing methods like 'stop and search' and technological surveillance, and evaluates the impact of privacy on court proceedings. The authors also address specific issues such as anonymity for sexual offense defendants and the balance between a terrorist's right to privacy and public safety. The discussion extends to privacy rights in prisons and during community sentences, providing a comprehensive analysis.
