Beskrivning

This illuminating book offers a timely assessment of the development and proliferation of precursor crimes of terrorism, exploring the functions and implications of these expanding offences in different jurisdictions. In response to new modes and sources of terrorism, attempts to pre-empt potential attacks through precursor offences have emerged. This book examines not only the meanings and effectiveness of this approach, but also the challenges posed to human rights and social and economic development.Featuring contributions from leading academic and practitioner experts in counter-terrorism law, the book covers the broad scope of activities tackled by these new legal interventions, including membership, collaboration, communications, training and financing. Taking a comparative approach that relies on extensive experience in various jurisdictions, including the UK and Spain, the chapters also discuss important related issues such as international cooperation, investigations and penology, offering insights into the context of policies and practices.Scholars and advanced students of criminal and human rights law with an interest in terrorism and terrorism offences will find this book essential reading. It will also benefit legal practitioners and policy makers in fields such as international criminal law cooperation and counter-terrorism.

Recensioner i media

‘This impressive collection of chapters, from internationally respected academics and practitioners with expertise on terrorism and criminal law, tackles an important recent phenomenon. As ever more States seek to counter the threat of terrorism in innovative ways, specialised criminal offences proliferate and expand to reach those who fund, plan, encourage, prepare, or glorify terrorism in the physical and online worlds. The perceived threat posed by terrorism permits legislatures to criminalise more widely and punitively. The need for adequate scrutiny and safeguards is obvious as these offences challenge orthodox definitions and structures of criminal laws and their jurisdictional reach as well as traditional trial processes. The book provides an insightful exploration of the theoretical, social and practical dimensions to pre-cursor offences and offenders, drawing particularly on European experience. It will serve as a valuable resource for scholars and policy makers examining the many challenges that such legislation brings.’
