Malcolm Thorburn, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, Queen's University
This seminar addresses some concerns that have arisen recently about national identification schemes (such as the now-abandoned UK scheme). It distinguishes between (1) identification, (2) surveillance (understood very narrowly), and (3) profiling. Although identification is the object of most concern in the English-speaking world, Thorburn argues that it is actually the least problematic of the three.
