Anti-Terrorism and Criminal Enforcement (Abridged Edition) (American Casebook Series)

This is an up-to-date casebook on the U.S. government’s war against terrorism, with special emphasis on developments since September 11, 2001. The dominant theme of the book is the tension between a traditional criminal enforcement approach and the government’s invocation of the concept that we are at war and therefore special "wartime" legal rules are applicable. The subject matter covers anti-terrorism legislative packages, anti-terrorism crimes and the special approaches to detention, adjudication, investigation and enforcement that have been adopted by the government in its anti-terrorism efforts.
