Moore, a senior law lecturer at an international college in the UK, considers whether the existing law in England and Wales is adequate to protect the privacy of the individual against intrusion by the press. He examines the law against the background of recent high-profile cases, and looks at existing remedies as well as judicial and legal attitudes towards privacy. Problems related to electronic communication, data protection, and national security are also discussed. The book is distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
