This book considers the increasing trend towards a 'culture of
control' in democratic countries. The post-9/11 counter-terrorism
laws in nations such as the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia
provide a stark demonstration of this trend. These laws share a
focus on the pre-emption of crime, restrictions on the right to
liberty of non-suspects, limited public access to information, and
increased community surveillance. The laws derogate, in many
respects, from the ordinary principles of the criminal justice
system and fundamental human rights while also harnessing public
institutions in the broader project of prevention and control.
Distinctively, the contributors to this volume focus on the impact
of these laws outside of the counter-terrorism context. The book
draws together a range of experts in both public and criminal law,
from Australia and overseas, to examine the effect of
counter-terrorism laws on public institutions within democracies
more broadly. Issues considered include changes to the role and
functions of the courts, the expansion of executive discretion, the
seepage of extraordinary powers and pre-emptive measures into other
areas of the criminal law, and the interaction and overlap between
intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Counter-Terrorism and
Beyond: The Culture of Law and Justice After 9/11 will be of
interest to students and scholars of criminal law, criminology,
comparative criminal justice, terrorism and national security,
public law, human rights, governance and public policy.
