Accountability and Review in the Counter-Terrorist State, First Edition
Jessie Blackbourn, Fiona de Londras, Lydia Morgan

Counter-terrorism is now a permanent and sprawling part of the legislative and operational apparatus of the state. In spite of this, little is known about the law and practice of how it is reviewed, how effective review mechanisms are, what impact they have, or how they interact with one another.

This book addresses that gap in knowledge by presenting the first comprehensive, critical analysis of counter-terrorism review in the United Kingdom, informed by interviews with policy makers, politicians, practitioners and civil society.
