Article Critiques: Week 2

Article 1: Information Privacy

In the Wikipedia article Information Privacy, the author did not do a great job in the references sector. Many of the facts were not referenced. For example, the definition of Information Privacy is not referenced. There are also other parts of the article that go without referencing. The reference section contained many and various types of sources but upon looking through them I saw a lot of unreliable sources. In this section many news articles from websites like BBC News and USA Today were listed. A lot of other websites were used for referencing which I think reduces the reliability of the article. One example of this is a reference that led to a website titled “enotes” and seemed to be a platform for asking and answering questions. There were a few journal article sources that seemed to be reliable and perhaps scholarly. I think in general the article is neutral. There is one thing that stuck out to me that made it sound a bit biased but to be fair I am still learning how to distinguish this. I think the author was not being neutral where he advises his readers to be cautious about what they publish/ post on the internet. All of the links to the citations seem to work just fine. I think that some of the sections could be elaborated on like the “cable television’ and “political” subsections. Everything seems to be relevant to the topic and up to date. I think the author could use better sources which would improve the reliability.

Article 2: Genetic Privacy

In the Wikipedia article titled Genetic Privacy, it seemed to me that it is missing a lot of information. Facts are reference appropriately. There are only a few subtopics and are not organized in an effective way. There is a section titled “other” so it is difficult to completely comprehend a bigger picture of this topic. I think that the author of this article could have titled this section differently. More information could be added to the article as it is very short in each section. I did not notice plagiarism and there doesn’t seem to be any direct claims. However, the introduction of the page sounded a little biased. In a way it seems as if the author is leaning towards the breach of Genetic Privacy as bad. This isn’t a neutral point of view. Most of the sources/references look to be reliable. There are a couple questionable sources like the first one where the author retrieves the definition of “Genetic Privacy” from a website called Reference MD. There were a few newspaper articles in the references that could point to biases. The links in the references all work effectively. Ultimately, I think that this page needs a lot more work. More data needs to be added and perhaps a better organization method of the subtopics.

I am still a bit unsure as to how I am going to go about my article. Reading and annotating articles has helped me a bit in thinking about this but I am still brainstorming. A few things I could possibly include in this article are things like: background information, history of prison privacy, and or issues with modern prison privacy. I could also include current privacy laws in regards to prison. I am creating this article because I am interested in the relation of privacy in prisons.

ARTICLE DRAFT:
= Privacy in Prisons = Privacy in Prisons refers to laws governing protection and the breaches privacy and privacy rights of individuals in prison; this includes inmates and the staff of prison facilities.

Incarceration rates in the U.S. have and continue to increase significantly.In comparison to the rest of the world,the U.S. is said to hold a record for the highest number of incarcerated individuals.As part of the constitution, the Fourth Amendment protects privacy rights by forbidding “unreasonable searches and seizures”. The 1975 Bonner v Coughlin case protects that these privacy rights remain available to individuals in prison, to an extent. Later, the 1984 Hudson v. Palmer case, decided that the privacy rights of inmates against searches were not protected. The case stated that this was important in order to maintain control and security within the prisons.

Privacy in physical prison environments
Theorectical understandings - Panopticon (Foucault sp?): way to surveill other people - punishment and privacy - theoretical approach to prison and privacy.

Privacy rights and Prison staff
Cases:

Mieth V. Dothard: Privacy rights were protected by the decision of the placement of correctional officers in areas of the prison where privacy would not be jeopardized.

City of Philadelphia V. Pennsylvania Human relations commissions: The case decided that the privacy rights of Juveniles would be violated within youth correctional facilities with the hiring of correctional officers of the opposite sex.

Forts v. Ward: Inmates raised concerns of their privacy being violated by correctional guards of the opposite sex.
