摘要：We are delighted to publish the second edition of the International Journal for Crime and Justice. The opening piece by Mark Finnane and Susan Donkin asks provocatively whether counterterrorist laws introduced in the post 9/11 global context are as innovative and threatening as first feared? The paper takes a longer term view arguing that interpretations of counterterrorism laws need to be historically grounded, taking into account the way in which other social controls - such as ones instituted over habitual criminals and over those considered dangerous or mentally disordered - have provided a foundation from which to frame counter terrorism laws. Still on the theme on anti-terrorism and law, Nicola McGarrity critically interrogates the cases of 38 men charged with terrorist offences in Australia. This paper explores the difficulties encountered by the Australian jurisdictions in applying sentencing principles to terrorism cases, and in particular the challenges arising from balancing the principles of deterrence against rehabilitation for convicted terrorists.
