Recenzje

'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
