This book is a detailed examination of whether domestic security
measures are striking an appropriate balance between homeland
security and civil liberties in the post-9/11 era.
Professor Paul Wilkinson and the other contributors assess the
nature of UK responses to terrorism by key public and
private-sector bodies, highlighting how these organizations can
prevent, pre-empt, counter and manage terrorist attacks by using a
matrix of factors such as types of terrorist networks, tactics and
targets. The volume also compares and contrasts the UK's response
with cognate states elsewhere in the EU and with the USA.
While improved intelligence has helped prevent a major Al Qaeda
attack, the authors conclude that there is still a 'major question
mark' over whether the country is adequately resourced to deal with
an emergency situation, particularly in major cities other than
London. The book also confirms that while the UK faces a 'real and
serious' threat of terrorist attack by Al Qaeda, it is better
prepared for an attack than other EU member states.
Homeland Security in the UK will be essential reading for all
students of terrorism studies, security studies and politics, as
well as by professional practitioners and well-informed general
readers.
