Enabled by massive computing power, new modes of communications analysis now touch the lives of citizens around the globe - not just those conventionally thought of as suspicious or threatening. In this astute collection, leading academics, civil society experts, and regulators debate the pressing questions raised by current security intelligence and surveillance practices in Canada.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBig Data Surveillance and Security Intelligence \u003c\/i\u003ereveals the profound shift to \"big data\" practices that security agencies have made in recent years, as the increasing volume of information from social media and open sources challenges traditional ways of gathering intelligence. Working together, the Five Eyes intelligence partners - Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States - are using new methods of data analysis to identify and pre-empt risks to national security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Canada, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the RCMP, and the Communication Security Establishment face an uncertain regulatory environment and seemingly incompatible demands: to extend their surveillance, data gathering, and disruption\/intervention powers while increasing accountability and transparency in the name of democratic values. But at what cost to civil liberties, human rights, and privacy protection? This book will find an audience not only among academics in security studies, sociology, political science, computer science, military studies, and law but also among members of the civil liberties community, investigative journalists, and security intelligence workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Lyon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774864184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774864183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"David Lyon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096717205759,"sku":"9780774864183","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/big-data-surveillance-and-security-david-lyon-9780774864183","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
