The Routledge Companion to UK Counter-Terrorism

The sudden expansion of the counter terrorism effort combined with the operational immediacy to protect communities from imminent attacks left little time or space for reflection for those key individuals who were tasked with designing, driving, delivering and informing counter terrorism strategy, policy, practice and procedure. This authoritative companion brings together the learning of the first decade since the terrorist attacks of September 11th, drawing on the personal and professional foresight of key individuals identifying future challenges that still lie ahead in the decades yet to come. For the very first time this book provides personal and professional views of countering international terrorism so that the foresight of the military, intelligence agencies, government, law enforcement, subject matter experts and other stakeholders can be analyzed together. This book will be essential reading for students engaged with policing, anti-terrorism, security and international crime, as well as policy makers, strategists and police professionals alike
