| Synopsis: |
Located within wider debates about `security versus liberty' in our post 9/11 world, the book analyses the new landscape of UK counter terrorism powers and offences and focuses upon the deleterious consequences of the so-called `war on terror' on freedom of political expression and association. Questioning the compatibility of recent speech-limiting measures with liberalism's established commitment to free speech and international human rights norms, the book takes a critical look at new powers to proscribe `extremist' political parties, possession offences and other criminal controls (eg. Official Secrets Act prosecutions) as well as new offences such as `glorification' of terrorism. Less visible, extra-legal forms of censorship are also evaluated. The monograph concludes by asking how a more vigorous defence of unorthodox and unpopular forms of expression might be safeguarded in the UK. |
