Counter-terrorism, Constitutionalism and Miscarriages of Justice - A Festschrift for Professor Clive Walker(Pevná vazba)

The purpose of this book is to honour the influential and wide-ranging work of Professor Clive Walker. It explores Professor Walker's influence from three perspectives. Firstly, it provides a historical reflection upon the development of the law and policy in relation to counter-terrorism and miscarriages of justice since the 1970s. This historical perspective, which is often overlooked, is particularly timely seventeen years after 9/11 as trends become clearer and historical perspective even more valuable. So too with miscarriages of justice: while there was considerable public and political scrutiny following high profile miscarriages such as the Birmingham Six, Guildford Four, and others, in the early 1990s, today there is much less scrutiny and concern, despite significant concern relating to issues such as legal aid and access to justice increasing the potential (if not likelihood)
