点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The threat posed by terrorism is multifaceted. It can directly or indirectly affect the lives of almost every citizen, whether through a relationship with a person affected by terrorism, such as the Bali bombing, or even through increased airport security. The law lies at the forefront of responses to terrorism in the wake of September 11. New laws are important to protect the community from violent harm, but must also ensure that the democratic values that governments seek to protect are not undermined. This project, in providing sustained research and legal analysis in this area, offers significant security, personal, economic and social benefits to Australia as well as to other nations affected by the threat of terrorism.
