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 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."

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."

"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."
