This review is from: Compilation of State and Federal Privacy Laws 02 with 2011 Suppl (Paperback)

With its annual supplements, this book continues to be an outstanding resource on privacy issues--the collection and dissemination of personal data, electronic surveillance, identify theft, credit reporting, and many others. The Compilation is always my first source for fielding questions about confidentiality and privacy rights and protections--or the lack thereof--in this country.

This review is from: Compilation of State and Federal Privacy Laws 02 with 2011 Suppl (Paperback)

A truly valuable resource for privacy researchers, as well as anybody interested in navigating the confusing (and sometimes contradictory) panorama of legal protection afforded to privacy in the United States. The fact that this 2008 edition updates the compilation of laws up to very recent months makes it a much needed and timely reference.
