This book provides a wide-ranging and accessible textbook covering
the main areas of civil liberties and human rights law as it
applies to England and Wales, meeting the requirements of
undergraduate law syllabuses. The book sets out not only the legal
rules, common law and statutes which relate to the field of civil
liberties and human rights, but also the arguments and debates
which have surrounded the development of an increasingly
controversial area of the law, looking at the background principles
underlying it, the coherence and consistency of the rules one to
another and the social and political consequences of their
application in practice. Particular attention is paid to the impact
of developments in Europe, and especially to the Human Rights Act
1998 which has had an especial impact on the freedom to participate
in determining public goals and the ability to preserve an area of
personal autonomy. The book also addresses the nature and impact of
the major statutory reforms in areas such as surveillance,
protection of personal data and freedom of information, and devotes
as well a chapter to the increasingly prominent issue of
'terrorism' and how the government and the law should respond.
