Part of a series of short books which deal with topical issues in
public policy in an accessible way, this volume examines the legal
impact of the information technology revolution. The massive data
banks operated by public and private sector organizations have
implications for both individuals and society as a whole. In the
area of criminal law, the computer hacker has attained a place in
popular demonology, whilst the fear of computer viruses and the
problems of software piracy have attracted widespread publicity.
The increasing use of and reliance upon computers in
safety-critical applications also prompts consideration of the
legal consequences which may follow any failure. In addition to
examining the efficacy of present and proposed legal responses,
this book considers the social, technical and cultural fators which
influence various forms of computer-related behaviour.
