The purpose of this book is to honour the influential and
wide-ranging work of Professor Clive Walker. It explores Professor
Walker's influence from three perspectives. Firstly, it provides a
historical reflection upon the development of the law and policy in
relation to counter-terrorism and miscarriages of justice since the
1970s. This historical perspective, which is often overlooked, is
particularly timely 17 years after 9/11 as trends become clearer
and historical perspective even more valuable. So too with
miscarriages of justice: while there was considerable public and
political scrutiny following high-profile miscarriages such as the
Birmingham Six, Guildford Four, and others, in the early 1990s,
today there is much less scrutiny, despite significant concern
relating to issues such as legal aid and access to justice
increasing the potential (if not likelihood) for miscarriages to
occur. By including a critical historical perspective, this book
enables us to learn lessons from the past and to minimise
contemporary risks of miscarriages of justice. Secondly, this book
provides a critical analysis of the law and policy as it stands
today, and its future trajectory. Applying Walker's theoretical and
analytical contributions to the field, the authors focus on
pressing contemporary concerns, identifying lacunae where relevant,
as well as the possible, probable and preferable future trends.
Finally, the book celebrates and recognises the significant
contributions by Walker, with each chapter built around one or more
of Walker's key works.
