Terrorism and Public Law after September 11

恐怖主义构成的威胁是多方面的。它可以直接或间接地影响几乎每个公民的生活，无论是通过与受恐怖主义影响的人的关系，如巴厘岛爆炸案，还是通过加强机场安全。在9·11事件后，这部法律走在了应对恐怖主义的前沿。新的法律对于保护社区免受暴力伤害很重要，但也必须确保政府试图保护的民主价值观不会受到破坏。该项目在这一领域提供持续的研究和法律分析，为澳大利亚以及其他受恐怖主义威胁影响的国家提供了重大的安全、个人、经济和社会利益。

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.
