Terrorism laws and legal practices have been politically and
socially controversial to a degree beyond almost any other legal
issue during the past decade, and this analytical text contains
extensive analysis of these controversies. Written by a leading
commentator, Terrorism and the Law offers a thoughtful and
up-to-date discussion of all the key materials on terrorism law. It
provides comprehensive coverage of all major domestic, European,
and international laws, and their impact on the UK. It also
contains an extensive examination of implementation and practical
problems, as well as comparison with closely comparable
jurisdictions ranging from Australia, Canada, and the Republic of
Ireland, to the United States. The book contains five Parts. Part I
focuses on meanings of 'terrorism' in law and political science. It
provides the reader with an understanding of the political
phenomenon and the legal concept, including its statutory
definitions, which is essential to the book's assessment of the
strategies and tactics adopted in the codes of laws as well as
policy statements. It also addresses normative constraints, such as
human rights, and considers mechanisms of accountability. Parts
II-IV focus on the United Kingdom law and practice. It provides
extensive coverage of the major UK terrorism legislation, namely:
the Terrorism Act 2000; the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act
2001; the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005; the Terrorism Act 2006;
the Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Act 2007; the
Counter-Terrorism Act 2008; and the Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc.
Act 2010. The themes comprise: investigatory and policing powers
and interventions; the disclosure of Information, special criminal
laws, special criminal processes, post-trial restraints and the
penology of terrorism, executive regulation through control orders
and immigration measures, terrorist funding and property, and
protective security laws, structures, and regulations. The study
encompasses wherever relevant the impact of European, international
and transnational laws and practices, covering international
transnational cooperation and extradition; key European Union law
measures against terrorism; other international law measures
against terrorist activities; and international human rights and
terrorism. Part V considers regional variations in Northern
Ireland, with some reflections on the application of Scottish law,
especially in the Lockerbie cases.
