Crimes Against The State

From Treason to Terrorism

Beschreibung

This book presents a detailed review of the range of what are generally classified as crimes against the state or against the government- rebellion, treason, mutiny, espionage, sedition, terrorism, riot and unlawful assembly - in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Australia. The volume closely examines the laws themselves, their judicial interpretation and their political use and abuse.
