In the years since 9/11, counter-terrorism law and policy has
proliferated across the world. This handbook comprehensively
surveys how the law has been deployed in all aspects of
counter-terrorism. It provides an authoritative and critical
analysis of counter-terrorism laws in domestic jurisdictions,
taking a comparative approach to a range of jurisdictions,
especially the UK, the US, Australia, Canada, and Europe. The
contributions to the book are written by experts in the field of
terrorism law and policy, allowing for discussion of a wide range
of regulatory responses and strategies of governance. The book is
divided into four parts, reflective of established
counter-terrorism strategic approaches, and covers key themes such
as: Policing and special powers, including surveillance Criminal
offences and court processes Prevention of radicalisation and
manifestations of extremism Protective/preparative security The
penology of terrorism In addressing counter-terrorism laws across a
broad range of topics and jurisdictions, the handbook will be of
great interest and use to researchers, students and practitioners
in criminal law, counter-terrorism, and security studies.
In the years since 9/11 counter-terrorism law and policy has
proliferated across the world. This book sets out a comprehensive
survey of how the law has been deployed in all aspects of
counter-terrorism. The handbook provides an authoritative and
critical analysis of how laws are, and ought to be, invoked in
domestic jurisdictions against terrorism. With a comparative
approach the focus is on those jurisdictions which have produced
legal innovations with a sizeable impact, primarily the USA, the
UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the European Union. The
never before published contributions to the book are written by
experts in the field of terrorism law and policy, allowing for
discussion of a wide range of regulatory responses and strategies
of governance. The book is divided into four parts: the boundaries
and strategies of national counter-terrorism laws; the pursuit of
terrorists through national criminal process and executive
measures; protective security; and preventive measures.The chapters
engage with areas of traditional interest to lawyers such as
policing and special powers, criminal offences and the courts, and
prison regimes but also tackle emerging subjects including
preventing radicalisation and protective/preparative security. In
this way the handbook reflects the elements of counter-terrorism
laws which are more transformative of mass movements and
transactions alongside prosecutions or orders aimed at particular
individuals.
This book takes a critical and comparative approach to the
analysis of the governance of police stops across Europe.
It draws on an EU COST Action research network on Police
Stops which engaged academics and practitioners from 29
countries to better understand the practice of police
stops. It begins by examining how police stops are defined
and the various legal rules and levels of accountability afforded.
The chapters are arranged by theme to focus on a core aspect
of the governance of police stops. These include:Â legal
frameworks and police discretion; internal governance; external
accountability and civilian oversight; possibilities for legal
recourse; and the different roles of data and
technology. Each compares the distinct approaches
evident across Europe, often employing case studies. The book
adopts a critical approach, acknowledging governance as contested
and involving diverse (state, non-state and supranational)
actors. It considers implications for policing in a rapidly
changing environment globally.
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.
