Whistleblowing: When It Works-And Why (9781588261397): Roberta Ann Johnson: Books. Adult/High School-Supported by a dozen years of research and study, Johnson matches her findings with individual case studies to explore the history and current status of whistleblowing in America. Concentrating on the public sector, she cites examples that are both familiar (the Challenger tragedy) and less well known (the 1994 Northridge, CA, earthquake). Chapters examine the informers' motivations, how their actions affect public agencies and their practices, protective laws, and how the U.S. encourages whistleblowing elsewhere in the world. Each chapter concludes with a Tying It All Together section that neatly summarizes the preceding information and introduces the next topic. The book includes a page of hot-line posters plus reprints of two New Yorker cartoons. The content in this book is sure to spark debate in forums from ethics to sociology to politics.Dori DeSpain, Fairfax County Public Library, VACopyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
