This new edition of the Blackstone's Guide to the Anti-Terrorism Legislation provides expert explanations and assessments of the UK anti-terrorism legislation. It offers comprehensive and critical guidance on interpretation, impact in practice, and justifiability. The core instruments under scrutiny include: the Terrorism Act 2000, Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, Terrorism Act 2006, Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019, Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023, and Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025. Key extracts from these instruments are included in the appendices. The book opens with chapters examining terrorism strategies and definitions, curtailment of expression, including on the internet, and bans on organisations. Focus shifts to counter-terrorist policing and investigatory powers, terrorist offences, economic sanctions and other personal restrictions. The closing chapters consider protective security with reference to dangerous activities, vulnerable locations, and property and events open to the public, special variants in Northern Ireland such as non-jury trials, and consideration of review and accountability mechanisms. Analysis is provided in the context of the reports from review bodies, including the Independent Reviewers of Terrorism Legislation and UK Parliament, as well as academic commentaries. This analysis highlights important case-law, especially relating to the jurisprudence of human rights, and explores the impacts, relying upon statistical data, dialogues with professionals, and analysis of official claims.

They offer expert commentary by leading names on the effects, extent and scope of the legislation, plus a full copy of the Act itself.
