About this book

A comprehensive analysis of the role that prison policy can play in the reduction of terrorism, this book examines the experience of three western Europe jurisdictions: Northern Ireland, Italy and the Spanish Basque Country. It looks at the role of the prisons both as tools for counter-insurgency and as part of a process of conflict resolution. It looks in detail at each jurisdiction and then compares the experience of the three conflicts.

Reviews

'...a comprehensive examination of the legal battles against terrorism in three distinct conflicts; the thematic core of this book being a highly detailed survey of the anti-terrorist prison policies of the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain.' - Robert Martyn, Terrorism & Political Violence
