Eforcement Agencies and the Protection of Human Subjects
What is this about?
Judith Levy was conducting a study about ways of reducing drug-use and HIV transmission when two of her reserach subjects kidnapped their child from a shelter. As a result, the media, FBI and the police started interfering with the project and undermining the subjects' confidentiality. The case study asks about the proper course of action in such situations and the extent to which researchers can protect their sources.
