This new Blackstone's Guide offers comprehensive guidance on the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008, providing expert commentary on the effects, extent and scope of the legislation together with a full copy of the Act.
The Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 will amend the current law in relation to terrorism in a number of distinct ways, proposing to: extend the maximum period of pre-charge detention in terrorist cases to 42 days; amend the control order regime (notification requirements); introduce post-charge questioning of terrorism suspects; and introduce new provisions relating to the gathering and sharing of information for counter-terrorism (including the use of intercept evidence). The Act will also create a number of new powers and offences. A number of the proposed measures will, arguably, lead to a major rebalancing of the criminal justice system; raising serious concerns about human rights, civil liberties and privacy issues. This new Blackstone's Guide provides a concise and accessible guide to the new Act, offering expert commentary on the effects, extent and scope of the legislation together with a full copy of the Act. At each stage the legislation is discussed with reference to Hansard, the common law, authority in UK and abroad in relation to principles of jurisdiction, human rights, the rules of evidence, and other criminal justice statutes.The book provides clear guidance as to how the purposes of the new Act can be advanced, and, equally, how they can be challenged in practice, as well as discussing Police powers and prosecutorial functions.
The Blackstone's Guide series delivers concise and accessible books covering the latest legislative changes and amendments. Published within weeks of the Act, they offer expert commentary by leading names on the effects, extent and scope of the legislation, plus a full copy of the Act itself. They offer a cost-effective solution to key information needs and are the perfect companion for any practitioner needing to get up to speed with the latest changes.
