The necropolitics of military amnesty
Necropolitics, as described by Achille Mbembe, is the sovereign’s capacity to dictate who may live and who must die. In its delineation of which bodies can be killed and which bodies must not be killed, necropolitics is the framework through which governments assign value to human life that justifies killing in the name of the greater good. Proposed legislation in the UK Parliament from 2021 suggested the state intended to limit prosecutions of B…
Sanders & Young's Criminal Justice
Criminal Justice provides a comprehensive overview of the criminal justice system in England and Wales (excluding punishment), as well as thought-provoking insights into how it might be altered and improved and research that might be needed to help accomplish this. Tracing the procedures surrounding the appre-hension, investigation, trial and appeal against conviction of suspected offenders, this book is the ideal com-panion for law and criminolo…
Attempting to deal with the past
Over the summer of 2019 a number of maroon banners appeared across towns and cities in Northern Ireland, declaring that the local population ‘stands with Soldier F’. Soldier F was a member of the Parachute Regiment who, in March of 2019, was charged with the murders of James Wray and William McKinney and five additional attempted murders as a result of his actions on Bloody Sunday, 30 January 1972. These charges were announced at a time when it w…
Absent Felicity
‘Happiness’, as we now commonly understand the term, is not something we should expect to meet in Shakespeare’s work. When he employs alternative words – such as ‘felicity, ‘merry’ or ‘blessed’ – he rarely seeks to convey what latter-day readers might assume to be the concept of ‘happiness’ that we accept as an agreeable state of mind. Shakespeare’s ‘happy’ seems to apply to circumstances rather than to a state of mind. His characters often appea…
The Long Peace Process
This book examines the role of the United States of America in the Northern Ireland conflict and peace process. It assesses Northern Ireland as both an international and a domestic issue in the United States during the years of conflict there. It looks at how US figures engaged with Northern Ireland, as well as the wider issue of Irish partition, in the years before the outbreak of what became known as the “troubles”. From there, it considers ear…
The 1985 Supplementary Extradition Treaty between the United States of America and the United Kingdom
The relationship between the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland during the years of conflict in Northern Ireland has been the topic of significant scholarly literature, but rarely has this literature examined the statecraft behind US interventions in Northern Ireland in the years before the election of President Bill Clinton. In this article, I will use a range of recently declassified state papers and a seri…
Principles of Minimum Force and the Parachute Regiment in Northern Ireland, 1969–1972
Developing literature on Operation Banner, the codename for the British military operation in Northern Ireland, has indicated that the conduct of soldiers deployed was not always in line with principles of minimum force. Adherence to these principles would seem to have been essential to the success of the operation given the initial deployment of the soldiers was in the role of military aid to the civil power. This article will examine the role o…
Congressional Hearings on Northern Ireland and the “Special Relationship,” 1971–1981
In 1971, Senator Edward Kennedy co-sponsored a resolution in Congress calling for the withdrawal of British troops from Northern Ireland. The House of Representatives Sub-Committee on Europe held hearings on this resolution in February 1972 in the immediate aftermath of the deaths in Londonderry of “Bloody Sunday.” These hearings represented the first time that several high profile American political figures had spoken out on the developing confl…
From Northern Ireland to Afghanistan
British military operations in the post-WWII period have become the topic of considerable academic attention in recent years. Among the expanding literature are the following: Edwards's Defending t
Operation Motorman (1972) and the search for a coherent British counterinsurgency strategy in Northern Ireland
The role of the British Army in Northern Ireland during Operation Banner (1969–2007) is an instructive case study of counterinsurgency operations as well as an important chapter in recent British military history. Given troops deployed to the province as aid to the civil power, it is particularly useful in discussions about the principle of minimum force. This article seeks to explore the issue of minimum force through the example of Operation Mo…
Christian Dickens
In September 1844 Charles Dickens had a vivid dream while he was staying at the Villa Peschiere in Genoa. He dreamed that he was ‘in an indistinct place, which was quite sublime in its indistinctness’ and he was visited by a spirit which wore blue drapery, ‘as the Madonna might in a picture by Raphael’, but which bore no resemblance to anyone he had known. He recognized a voice, however, and concluded that this was the spirit of his much loved si…
Times of Troubles
This is the first academic study of the British Army in Northern Ireland. It investigates the complex experiences of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish soldiers alike during the often-controversial Operation Banner 1969-2007. The experiences of these soldiers raise many important and difficult questions on war and policy. When do 'troubles', riots and insurgency become war? How does a liberal state respond to an internal war within its own border…
Inside the Iradissident Republicans and the War for Legitimacy
Who is the ‘real’ IRA? The Real IRA, the Continuity IRA, the Irish National Liberation Army, the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA have all assumed responsibility for the struggle for Irish freedom over the course of the late-twentieth century. Yet, as recently as 1969, there was only one Irish Republican Army trying to unify Ireland using physical force. This book explains how and why the transition from one IRA to several IRAs occurred, anal…

Northern Ireland
Contemporary security affairs depend on accurate and timely military intelligence; without them, security efforts can descend into farce or something altogether more dangerous: civil war. The role of intelligence is central to any serious attempt to end violence. Many important lessons can be learned from the United Kingdom's security efforts in Northern Ireland and the importance of effective military intelligence policy is one of these lessons.…
Problems of Class, Religion and Ethnicity
Throughout the Northern Ireland Troubles, discussion of class politics tended to be eclipsed by attention to unionist–nationalist conflict. Debate on the role of class, however, has represented an important strain in academic reflection on the conflict. With the Troubles apparently over, there exists an opportunity to reflect on one key aspect of this subject: the failure of class politics to reach across religious divisions in Northern Ireland, …
A Tale of Two Cities
'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.' Two cities, and two men caught up in the terrifying events of the french Revolution. In London, French aristocrat Charles Darnay and dissolute English barrister Sydney Carton fall in love with the same woman. Unwillingly drawn to Paris, Darnay faces the revolutionary anarchy of the Terror; Carton, too, his destiny entwined with that of his rival, faces his ultimate test in the French capital.…

Vulnerable and Intimidated Witnesses and the Adversarial Process in England and Wales
This article presents findings from recent Home Office-funded empirical research into the implementation of special measures for vulnerable and intimidated witnesses by the criminal justice agencies in England and Wales. It uses those findings to examine the argument that features of the adversarial process, such as the principle of orality, inevitably prevent vulnerable and intimidated witnesses from giving their best evidence, whatever modifica…
Core Values, the Magistracy, and the Auld Report
In this article I shall first examine the core values underlying criminal justice about which there is some consensus. I then briefly review the current arrangements and decision making processes in magistrates courts in England and Wales before relating the core values to those arrangements and processes. This leads me to certain conclusions about the magistracy that I contrast with Auld’s conclusions and recommendations

It gives attention to the explosion of new voluntary forms of Christianity and the expanding role of women in religious life. Part II surveys the diverse and complex relationships between …

Constructing the Case for the Prosecution
One of the central paradoxes of the Anglo-American criminal justice system is that courts in virtually all criminal cases are able to reach a verdict (usually guilty) without any apparent reasonable doubt, despite the elusiveness and complexity of'truth' and 'reality'. Doreen McBarnet has argued that the key to this conjuring trick is the adversary system. Each side argues its own side of its case, and no one need try - or is even allowed - to re…

Class Bias in Prosecutions
The police prosecute most detected offences, and caution very few. Agencies which enforce safety, pollution, fraud, and tax laws prosecute very rarely; other enforcement methods are used which are comparable with police cautions. Consequently, working class crime is prosecuted frequently while middle class crime is not. This article compares prosecution practices in the police and the Factory Inspectorate by drawing on recent E.S.R.C.‐financed re…
