Through essays by leading international and domestic commentators drawn from across politics, government, academia, and media, the book offers a range of critical perspectives on the challenge of ensuring national security while preserving the liberties that define our society. The contributors address questions such as the difficulty of defining "terrorism"; the extent to which the criminal justice system can accommodate terrorism offences; the acceptability of torture as an interrogative method; the role of the judiciary in times of emergency; how Australia's laws compare with those of the U.K. and New Zealand; and how our communities and politics are affected by responses to terrorism.
