Explore the complex landscape of federal terrorism prosecutions with “CRIME OF TERROR: The Legal and Political Implications of Federal Terrorism Prosecutions.” This timely analysis from “The Bookish Owl” critically examines the U.S. government’s expanded powers and reduced oversight in terrorism cases post-9/11. Discover how a preventive mindset impacts constitutional protections for suspects, the evolution of “terrorist exceptionalism” in criminal law, and the questionable “radicalization” theory fueling large-scale surveillance. The book details the material support statute, evidence rules, and unique sentencing regimes, questioning whether the government’s perceived threat justifies these deviations from normal legal procedure. A new preface updates key developments since 2015.
