There is a both a fear and fascination with undercover research in the social sciences. It is an emotive and controversial field which is equated with deception and transgression in an era of increasing ethical regimentation. This book explores the roots of covert research, including the classic exemplars, as well examining its contemporary dispersed place in the social sciences. Recent developments and links to auto ethnography, cyber lurking and investigative journalism are explored. David Calvey uses a diverse variety of case study materials, including his work on bouncers in the night-time economy. He argues that covert research has a creative and robust tradition and role in the social community rather than a maligned and submerged one, and that covert research needs to be rehabilitated and appropriately used. Covert Research: The Art, Politics and Ethics should ultimately become part of the critical imagination and methodological toolkit for social science students.
