Opis

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.

Recenzje

"This book looks at UK Counter Terrorism Laws in the broadest context. As a result the authors have been able to describe not only how British Counter Terrorism laws function as part of UK criminal law, but also how they fit within international Counter Terrorism obligations and instruments.The book examines a wide range of energising issue - for example 'dataveillance'. This is in the eye of the political storm about the permissible limits of surveillance.The book is clear, entertaining and provocative. I commend it as a leading new work, which all interested in Counter Terrorism should read."

-Lord Carlile of Berriew CBE, QC

"This handbook assembles leading writers to provide new insights and thinking in a field of enormous importance. It is a major contribution to academic and policy debates that continue around the world.

-George Williams, Anthony Mason Professor, University of New South Wales

How should democracies respond to terror? How have they done so? What options are available for the future, and what lessons can we learn from the past? The Routledge Handbook of Law and Terrorism is an essential and provocative guide to these questions, some of the most fundamental that democracies face today. It offers invaluable analysis from some of the world's most thoughtful scholars and experts on some of the most vexing questions of our age."

-David Cole, Professor, Georgetown University Law Center; author of Less Safe, Less Free: Why America Is Losing the War on Terror.

"The urgency of this subject and the rational manner in which the various chapters are organized definitely puts this book on the 'must-buy' list for a wide range of interested and involved readers, from policy makers and officials at all levels of government, to practitioners in criminal law, as well as academics specialising in counter-terrorism and security."

-Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
