This book is a detailed examination of whether domestic security measures are striking an appropriate balance between homeland security and civil liberties in the post-9/11 era. Professor Paul Wilkinson and the other contributors assess the nature of UK responses to terrorism by key public and private-sector bodies, highlighting how these organizations can prevent, pre-empt, counter and manage terrorist attacks by using a matrix of factors such as types of terrorist networks, tactics and targets. The volume also compares and contrasts the UK's response with cognate states elsewhere in the EU and with the USA. While improved intelligence has helped prevent a major Al Qaeda attack, the authors conclude that there is still a ‘major question mark’ over whether the country is adequately resourced to deal with an emergency situation, particularly in major cities other than London. The book also confirms that while the UK faces a ‘real and serious’ threat of terrorist attack by Al Qaeda, it is better prepared for an attack than other EU member states. Homeland Security in the UK will be essential reading for all students of terrorism studies, security studies and politics, as well as by professional practitioners and well-informed general readers.

The draft Civil Contingencies Bill (Cm. 5843, ISBN 0101584326), published by the Government in June 2003, contains a range of measures to modernise Britain's civil protection laws in order to strengthen the powers available to government to deal with serious emergencies. This is part of the Government's wider package of measures to improve the country's resilience to 'disruptive challenge' which is defined as an emergency presenting a serious threat to human welfare; the environment; political, administrative or economic stability; or UK security, such as war, armed conflict and terrorism. This report examines various aspects of the draft Bill including problems of ambiguity in definitions, human rights issues, constitutional matters, resource implications, audit and management issues. The Committee raises a number of concerns, particularly with regards to human rights and civil liberties issues, and calls for clarification of the currently broad definitions of 'emergency' and 'serious', in order to provide adequate safeguards against misuse of emergency powers.

The Committee's report welcomes the publication of the draft Bill (Cm. 5843, ISBN 0101584326) in June 2003, but states that civil contingencies legislation should have been introduced in the current Parliament (as recommended by an earlier Committee report (HCP 518, session 2001-02; ISBN 021500468X). Findings include the need for: the Government to explain why it proposes to create statutory civil protection obligations for local authorities and emergency services but not for itself or regional bodies; clarification of the emergency powers provisions to clearly establish safeguards against misuse of these powers; and further discussion on the provision preventing any special legislative measures being struck down by a court due to incompatibility with the Human Rights Act. The Committee also notes that, although it would not wish the Bill to be delayed any further, insufficient time has been allowed for the public consultation on the draft Bill, and the pre-legislative scrutiny process, to be conducted by a specially appointed Joint Committee, is also having to work to a very tight deadline.

Identifying the Culprit: Assessing Eyewitness Identification makes the case that better data collection and research on eyewitness identification, new law enforcement training protocols, standardized procedures for administering line-ups, and improvements in the handling of eyewitness identification in court can increase the chances that accurate identifications are made. This report explains the science that has emerged during the past 30 years on eyewitness identifications and identifies best practices in eyewitness procedures for the law enforcement community and in the presentation of eyewitness evidence in the courtroom. In order to continue the advancement of eyewitness identification research, the report recommends a focused research agenda.
