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到几乎每一个公民的生活，无论是通过与受恐怖主义影响的人的关系，如巴厘爆炸事件，还是甚至通过加强机场安全。该法律处于9月11日之后应对恐怖主义的最前沿。新法律对于保护社区免受暴力伤害很重要，但也必须确保政府寻求保护的民主价值观不受破坏。该项目在这一领域提供持续的研究和法律的分析，为澳大利亚以及受恐怖主义威胁影响的其他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.
