Counter-Terrorism Law

Law, Crime and Justice

This subject introduces students to law, government, and criminal justice in Australia. It explores how laws are made, the influence of politics on law reform, the role of the media, protections for human rights, and the elements of criminal responsibility. It considers the historical treatment of First Nations peoples in Australia&#39;s legal system and the role that law plays in promoting justice and accountability. This knowledge provides a foundation for further study on criminal law and justice systems.

Study the ideas and institutions that contribute to law and its production. You’ll examine the relationship between rules, morality, and justice. Consider the rule of law and the role of judges. Zoom in on First Nations Peoples and the law.

This subject explains the laws introduced by the Australian government in response to terrorism, from those enacted in response to the 9/11 attacks to those recently passed in response to Islamic State. It focuses on theories of prevention, the impact of these laws on Australia&#39;s criminal justice system, and questions of accountability and human rights. The course also considers policy strategies for countering radicalisation and violent extremism.
In response to the threat of Islamic State, the Australian Government enacted many new counter-terrorism laws. These laws supplemented an already extensive legal framework which had been developed in response to 9/11 and subsequent terrorist attacks (including those in Bali, Madrid, and London). Australia&#39;s counter-terrorism laws have created many new criminal offences and dramatically expanded the investigative and surveillance powers of police and intelligence agencies.
This subject critically analyses the major areas of counter-terrorism law in Australia. It focuses on theories of prevention and the impact of these laws on Australia&#39;s criminal justice question, as well as questions of accountability and human rights. Criminal offences discussed in the course include those for advocating terrorism and preparing terrorist acts. Students will also learn about the expansive preventive powers of Australia&#39;s police and intelligence agencies. Finally, the course addresses policy strategies for countering radicalisation and violent extremism.

Learn the laws the Australian Government is putting in place to protect the nation from terrorism, along with their impact. Cover theories in prevention, plus strategies for countering radicalisation and violent extremism, and more.
