An Unethical Ethics Code.
Clarke, Lee
American Sociologist, v26 n2 p12-21 Sum 1995
Recounts an incident where a sociologist heard stories challenging violations concerning toxic chemicals. Lawyers advised that corroborating these stories would obligate the sociologist to inform the authorities, thereby jeopardizing his sources. Discusses the ineffectuality of the American Sociological Associations' code of ethics and legal problems concerning research. (MJP)
