Zusammenfassung: | It is commonly believed that a state facing a terrorist threat responds with severe legislation that compromises civil liberties in favour of national security. Roger Douglas compares responses to terrorism by five liberal democracies-- the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand-- over the past 15 years. He examines each nation's development and implementation of counterterrorism law, specifically in the areas of information gathering, the definition of terrorist offenses, due process for the accused, detention, and torture and other forms of coercive questioning. Douglas finds that terrorist attacks elicit pressures for quick responses, which often allow national governments to accrue additional powers. But emergencies are neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for such laws, which may persist even after fears have eased. He argues that responses are influenced by institutional interests and prior beliefs and are complicated when the exigencies of office and beliefs point in different directions. He also argues that citizens are wary of government's impingement on civil liberties and that courts exercise their capacity to restrain the legislative and executive branches. Douglas concludes that the worst anti-terror excesses have taken place outside of, rather than within, the law and that the legacy of 9/11 includes both laws that expand government powers and judicial decisions that limit those very powers |

Roger Douglas compares responses to terrorism by five liberal democracies-- the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand-- over the past 15 years. He examines each nation's development and implementation of counterterrorism law, specifically in the areas of information gathering, the definition of terrorist offenses, due process for the accused, detention, and torture and other forms of coercive questioning. Douglas finds that terrorist attacks elicit pressures for quick responses, which often allow national governments to accrue additional powers. But emergencies are neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for such laws, which may persist even after fears have eased. He argues that responses are influenced by institutional interests and prior beliefs and are complicated when the exigencies of office and beliefs point in different directions. He also argues that citizens are wary of government's impingement on civil liberties and that courts exercise their capacity to restrain the legislative and executive branches. Douglas concludes that the worst anti-terror excesses have taken place outside of, rather than within, the law and that the legacy of 9/11 includes both laws that expand government powers and judicial decisions that limit those very powers Geschichte 2001-2014 gnd rswk-swf Information sur l'État Accès Terrorisme BUSINESS & ECONOMICS Infrastructure Civil rights Detention of persons Government information Access control Law National security Law and legislation POLITICAL SCIENCE Human Rights SOCIAL SCIENCE General terrorism Terrorism Terrorism Prevention Torture Terrorism Prevention Law and legislation Terrorismus (DE-588)4059534-1 gnd rswk-swf Rechtsvergleich (DE-588)4115712-6 gnd rswk-swf Gesetzgebung (DE-588)4020682-8 gnd rswk-swf Bekämpfung (DE-588)4112701-8 gnd rswk-swf Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 gnd rswk-swf Neuseeland (DE-588)4041915-0 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Australien (DE-588)4003900-6 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf political science Electronic books USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 g Australien (DE-588)4003900-6 g Neuseeland (DE-588)4041915-0 g Terrorismus (DE-588)4059534-1 s Bekämpfung (DE-588)4112701-8 s Gesetzgebung (DE-588)4020682-8 s Rechtsvergleich (DE-588)4115712-6 s Geschichte 2001-2014 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe Douglas, Roger (Roger Neil) Law, liberty, and the pursuit of terrorism Ann Arbor : The University of Michigan Press, [2014] 9780472119097 https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=929739 Verlag kostenfrei Volltext data file This work is licensed by Knowledge Unlatched under a Creative Commons license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 |
