The sixth edition of Textbook on Civil Liberties and Human Rights, provides a straightforward and stimulating account of this important area of law. It covers all the main areas dealt with in undergraduate law courses on civil liberties, including police powers, freedom of expression, terrorism and public order. The developing rights protecting privacy are analysed and the issue of discrimination is explored. The text also contains full discussion of the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998, together with consideration of the relevant case law of the European Convention on Human Rights. The approach aims to give the reader a full understanding of the relevant legal material, without ignoring the social and political context within which the law operates. The layout is clear and user-friendly, and each chapter concludes with a list of suggested further reading, enabling students to develop further their knowledge and understanding of the topic. As well as being fully updated to take account of developments, such as the changes in police powers contained in the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, this sixth edition also has a completely new chapter examining the impact of terrorism on civil liberties.
