Foreword / Colonel Christopher P. Costa -- Investigative detention and international law -- The United States -- The United Kingdom -- France.
Summary:
"Counterterrorism and Investigative Detention explores the practice of investigative detention of terrorist suspects in the legal systems of the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. In addition to illuminating the characteristics, capabilities, and limitations of various investigative detention regimes, this book examines ways in which international law and national security imperatives have served as vectors for change and convergence in these otherwise divergent legal systems." --Page 4 of cover.
