Description

Product Description 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. About the Author Ron Johnston (1941-2020) was a Professor of Geography at the University of Bristol. Charles Pattie is a Professor of Geography at the University of Sheffield. Professor of Population Studies at the University of Manchester. Stewart Lansley is a visiting fellow in the School of Policy Studies, the University of Bristol. He has written widely on poverty, wealth and inequality, most recently A Basic Income For All with Howard Reed (Compass 2019), and A Sharing Economy: How Social Wealth Funds Can Reduce Inequality and Help Balance the Books, (Policy Press, 2016). He is a Council member of the Progressive Economy Forum and an Associate of the Compass think-tank. Christopher Deeming is Senior Lecturer in Social Policy at the University of Strathclyde, with research interests in the field of Comparative and Global Social Policy. His latest works with Policy Press are Minimum Income Standards and Reference Budgets: International and Comparative Policy Perspectives (2020) and Reframing Global Social Policy: Social Investment for Sustainable and Inclusive Growth (2019). David Byrne is Emeritus Professor of Applied Social Sciences at Durham University. His work explores the consequences of the post-industrial transition and the implications of the complexity frame of reference for understanding the social world.
