National Security, Surveillance and Terror

Zusatztext

This edited collection brings together leading scholars to investigate the similarities and differences of national security, surveillance and terror in the early 21st century in two major western jurisdictions, Canada & Australia. Observing that many or most debates about these topics are dominated by US and UK perspectives, the volume provides an analysis of national security and surveillance practices that are legitimated through rhetorical reference to terror policing. Written by a wide range of contributors who are experts in their respective fields, this book addresses an interesting collection of timely questions regarding the relationship between national security, privacy and terror. Chapters include critical assessments of topics such as: National Security Intelligence Collection Since 9/11, Legal Architecture of Australian Covert Surveillance and Canadian Federal Government Departments and Security Regimes. An engaging and methodological study, this collection will be of great interest to scholars of global criminology, policing, and justice studies.
