  This work presents a detailed critical analysis of the legal protection of civil liberties in the United Kingdom. This is a subject which is widely studied but until recently was not covered by a comprehensive textbook, although many specialist books covering areas such as police powers or freedom of speech were available. While providing a wide treatment, this book focuses on the areas of particular academic interest in order to provide the reader with insight into the underlying themes in this area. The book includes: consideration of the nature of civil liberties and their general means of protection in the United Kingdom; a chapter devoted to the general influence of the European Convention on Human Rights; freedom of expression; freedom of information; freedom of religion; police powers and the rights of the suspect; freedom of association and assembly; prisoners' rights; privacy; and freedom from discrimination. The book concludes with consideration of the Bill of Rights issue. The effect of emergency situations is also considered as part of the relevant areas as is the particular influence of the European Convention in certain areas.
