TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Contagion, counterterrorism and criminology: the Case of France JO - Criminology and criminal justice A1 - Hamilton, Claire A1 - Berlusconi, Giulia SP - 568 EP - 584 VL - 18 IS - 5 N2 - In the burgeoning criminological literature on security, risk and preventive justice which has followed the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers, 'contagion' or the deleterious effect of counterterrorist policies on the ordinary criminal law has been the subject of some discussion, mostly in the context of the threat which such 'exceptional' policies pose to mainstream procedural values. This article seeks to build on this literature through an examination of the impact of post 9/11 counterterrorism law and policy on the ordinary criminal justice system in France. Given the extent to which counterterrorist law now encroaches on various aspects of French criminal law, the argument is made for greater criminological attention to be paid to the 'trickle-down' effect of extraordinary law on the ordinary business of the criminal justice system.
