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.
