Description
The tenth edition of Textbook on Civil Liberties and Human Rights offers full coverage of civil liberties topics and is perfect for use on undrgraduate modules. Written from a UK perspective, this essential textbook closely reflects the content of undergraduate civil liberties and human rights modules. The text offers thorough, critical coverage of crucial areas including police powers, freedom of expression, terrorism, and public order. Throughout the book topical case studies illustrate the application of legal theory in its social and political context, while questions for discussion in every chapter encourage critical engagement and stimulate debate.  This edition also considers the proposals for reform, or replacement, of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Leveson Report on the Press.
