This multidisciplinary volume demonstrates how Freedom of
Information (FOI) law and processes can contribute to social
science research design across sociology, criminology, political
science, anthropology, journalism and education. Comparing the use
of FOI in research design across the United Kingdom, the United
States, Australia, Canada and South Africa, it provides readers
with resources to carry out FOI requests and considers the
influence such requests can have on debates within multiple
disciplines. In addition to exploring how scholars can use FOI
disclosures in conjunction with interview data, archival data and
other datasets, this collection explains how researchers can
systematically analyse FOI disclosures. Considering the challenges
and dilemmas in using FOI processes in research, it examines the
reasons why many scholars continue to rely on more easily
accessible data, when much of the real work of governance, the more
clandestine but consequential decisions and policy moves made by
government officials, can only be accessed using FOI requests.

Although service outsourcing has spread throughout Canada's prisons
and jails, into its police, courts, and national security
institutions, and along the border in recent decades, the expanding
scope and pace of corporate involvement in criminal justice
functions has not yet been closely investigated. Changing of the
Guards provides a detailed assessment of privatization and private
influence across the twenty-first-century Canadian criminal justice
system. It illuminates the many consequences of public-private
arrangements for law and policy, transparency, accountability, the
administration of justice, equity, and the public. This trenchant
analysis raises issues that are relevant in Canada and abroad.
