This Handbook is testament to the value of whistleblowing for
democracy, with new research and existing knowledge probed with
fresh and urgent questions. What is the impact of global technology
on public accountability, journalism and whistleblower protection?
If indifference is what really matters, is focus on retaliation
misplaced? What stops those in authority from heeding
whistleblowers? A vital resource for anyone fighting to protect
whistleblowers anywhere to better articulate whose interests are
really at stake and what needs to be done.- Anna Myers, lawyer and
Expert Coordinator of the Whistleblowing International Network

a thorough and thoughtful examination of current approaches to
research regarding this important topic. The editors have included
the viewpoints of highly regarded researchers from a number of
different fields, including the social sciences, business, and law.
Unlike some collections of comments by experts in diverse fields,
the editors have created a coherent and useful structure for an
analysis of the status of whistleblowing research, the appropriate
design for such research and its practical applications. The book
casts new light on many topics crucial to the success or failure of
whistleblower laws. Researchers, activists, policy makers and
anyone interested in understanding whistleblowing and improving
laws that encourage and protect it should read this indispensable
work. A 'who's who' of the field and a depository of insights and
ideas.- Robert Vaughn, American University Washington College of

organizational insiders is vital to modern public accountability

confronted by organizations, regulatory authorities and
governments. Featuring contributions from scholars and policy
practitioners in a number of diverse fields - including sociology,
political science, psychology, information systems, media studies,
business, management, criminology, public policy and several
branches of law - the book provides a comprehensive guide to
existing research and blueprints for how new research should be
conducted in the future. It covers conceptual and definitional
fundamentals of whistleblowing and strategies for researching
whistleblowing in an organizational context, as well as law reform,
regulation, management practicalities and research ethics. It also
charts the lessons of 30 years of empirical research and maps out
new questions and projects for future decades. This Handbook, with
its unique perspective on the complex, multi-faceted and often
controversial nature of whistleblowing research, will be a vital
resource for researchers, policymakers and organizations around the
world. Contributors: B. Bjorkelo, R. Bosua, A.J. Brown, H.H. Bye,
