An anthropologist can justify publishing intimate and potentially incriminating details about the subjects.

Explanation:

Anthropologist studies aspects or characteristics of human beings which existed in the past societies and compares it with present one. They carry out researches on all the human behavior and cultures.

If an anthropologist conducts research on the lives of undocumented immigrant families, then he might justify these details when the researcher will ensure the anonymity of the subjects and obtain informed consent. During a research when the collected information of participants doesn't identify them with their name, address etc., it means providing anonymity of information.
