The editors are a criminologist (criminology, Kwantlen Polytechnic U., CA) and a sociologist (sociology, U. of Victoria, CA). It is of interest to citizens, academics in law, social science, criminology, journalism, or public policy, and those who work where information is gathered or stored and access policies need to be set. Th is divided into four parts. The first deals with access to information at the executive and provincial levels, and is the most specific to Canada. The second deals with security: airport security after 9/11, computer security, and access to data for social research. The third deals with research strategies: getting information about censorship, the policing of activists, information access in prison, and access to video surveillance footage taken by the cameras mounted on public streets. The last section is a set of essays by investigative journalists on their experiences with access to information and freedom of information. The writing is wonderfully clear, the perspectives are diverse, and th is recommended for anyone with an interest in censorship, privacy, security, investigation, research, Freedom of Information law, or access to information; it is useful for non-Canadian as well as Canadian readers.
