Reviews

How can we be more effective in bringing terrorists to justice in ways that uphold our legal traditions? This book provides crucial clues drawn from highly experienced prosecution and defence lawyers, detectives, security experts and forensic psychologists. I highly recommend it for all who want to understand and respond to the serious threat from jihadist terrorism over the years to come.?Professor Sir David Omand, former UK Security and Intelligence Coordinator, Permanent Secretary of the Home Office and Director GCHQ The threat of terrorism is a dark shadow which affects all citizens throughout the world. In this well constructed book a group of eminent experts with extensive experience in the field provides valuable discussion of the causes and wider consequences of terrorism as well as its circumvention, investigation and prosecution. It comprises a substantial body of precious insight and guidance which will be of unquestionable value to policy and law makers, police investigators, Judges and legal practitioners. Those who are active in this sphere would be well advised to familiarise themselves with its contents. I very strongly recommend it.?Anthony Heaton-Armstrong, practising barrister at 9 - 12 Bell Yard Edited and written by experts in their fields and with a plethora of experience, the authors know what they are talking about. This book is a must for those who need to know, those who are interested to know, and those who think they know it all already.?Susan Young, Professor of Forensic Clinical Psychology, Broadmoor Hospital, West London Mental Health Trust First-rank expertise on the detection, investigation and prosecution of terrorist crime accompanies insights into the motives of its perpetrators. The combination is unusual, welcome and thought-provoking.?David Anderson Q.C., Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation A collection of very informative papers from many of the experts in the front line of confronting, analysing, detecting and dealing with terrorism and terrorist suspects. It confirms that we have no room for complacency, that we are still learning and there is still much to be done.?Alastair Logan, OBE, LLB. Solicitor and member of The Law Society's Human Rights Committee
