Indeks : p.404-417 This book is a detailed examination of the UK measures taken since 9/11 to enhance homeland security. The authors consider the potential value of these measures in the light of the changing terrorist threats to the UK and the existing counter-terrorism capabilities prior to 9/11. Major lessons concerning the effectiveness of different measures, their implications for human rights, and the experience of the US and our fellow EU member states are highlighted. While improved intelligence has helped to thwart of disrupt a number of Al-Qaeda-linked conspiracies, the suicide bombings in London on 7 July 2005 are tragic evidence that we need to do much more to improve the quality of our intelligence and our capability to prevent terrorist attacks and to deal with emergency situations when prevention fails.
