  This work is part of the Lecture Notes series, which is intended primarily for the undergraduate law degree or common professional examination student. It is also intended to be useful to other students studying law as part of their course. The books provide valuable assistance to those who need clear but thorough treatment of law subjects, incorporating recent developments and proposals for reform as appropriate. The treatment of each subject is precise but comprehensive. The material in the books is presented logically, starting with the basic issues of each topic and moving on to more refined matters. At the end of each chapter, the issues discussed in that chapter, together with relevant cases and statutes, are summarized on one perforated sheet. This enables the reader to file the summary sheet for easy access during subsequent revision. Each book also contains full footnote references and a recommended reading list. This particular work presents a concise but critical analysis of the legal protection of civil liberties in the United Kingdom. While providing a wide treatment, it focuses on areas of particular academic interest in order to provide students with a clear insight into the underlying themes in this area.

  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.
