Terrorism and the non-State actor after September 11: The role of law in the search for security

9月11日引发了对前所未有的全球恐怖主义威胁的各种法律的反应。该项目将解决缺乏对最近的反恐法律进行综合法律的和社会科学观点的分析的问题。该项目将结合国际法和刑法、犯罪学和社会心理学的观点，探讨这些发展对公认的法律的类别构成的挑战;围绕例外论作为新法律理由的辩论;其意外和附带后果;以及公众对新安全措施的态度。这项研究将增进对目前对恐怖主义的反应的了解，并为政策分析和关于今后适当反应的公共辩论提供信息。

September 11 elicited diverse legal responses to a perceived threat of unprecedented global terrorism. This project will redress the dearth of analysis integrating legal and social-scientific perspectives on recent anti-terrorism laws. Combining perspectives from international and criminal law, criminology and social psychology, the project will explore the challenges these developments pose to accepted legal categories; debates around exceptionalism as a justification for new laws; their unintended and collateral consequences; and public attitudes to new security measures. The research will enhance understanding of current reactions to terrorism and inform policy analysis and public debate over appropriate future responses.
