Bibliographic Details
Title: Data in Society : Challenging Statistics in an Age of Globalisation
Description: Statistical data and evidence-based claims are increasingly central to our everyday lives. Critically examining ‘Big Data', this book charts the recent explosion in sources of data, including those precipitated by global developments and technological change. It sets out changes and controversies related to data harvesting and construction, dissemination and data analytics by a range of private, governmental and social organisations in multiple settings. Analysing the power of data to shape political debate, the presentation of ideas to us by the media, and issues surrounding data ownership and access, the authors suggest how data can be used to uncover injustices and to advance social progress.
