Ethics and security: terrorism and transnational organised crime
This project will focus on cross-cutting issues in preventive policing in international counterterrorism and serious crime, including the use of surveillance and infiltration, the meaning of "proportionality", and tensions between paradigms of security and justice in the criminalisation of some offences. It aims to identify and explain different understandings of "terrorism" and to suggest how these should be reflected in public policy. This work will inform other Global Uncertainties projects that seek to detect patterns of behaviour that may indicate criminal conspiracy or a tendency to violence and seek to identify suspects quickly. Such work carries ethical risks. The venture will also interact with other Global Uncertainties projects, UK and European security companies and ethicists.
