These issues have particular salience in the counter terrorism context following 9/11 (which brought with it the spectre of shooting down hijacked airplanes) and the use of force in Operation Kratos that led to the tragic shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes. Concerns about the use of excessive force, however, are not confined to the terrorist situation. The essays in this collection examine how the state sanctions the use of lethal force in varied ways: through the doctrines of public and private self-defence and the development of legislation and case law that excuses or justifies the use of lethal force in the course of executing an arrest, preventing crime or disorder or protecting private property. An important theme is how the domestic and international legal orders intersect and continually influence one another. While legal approaches to the use of lethal force share common features, the context within which force is deployed varies greatly. Key issues explored in this volume are the extent to which domestic and international law authorise pre-emptive use of force, and how necessity and reasonableness are legally constructed in this contextOnati international series in law and society.Police shootingsLaw and legislationInternational criminal lawPolice shootingsMoral and ethical aspectsPolice shootingsPolitical aspectsElectronic books.Police shootingsLaw and legislation.Police shootingsMoral and ethical aspects.Police shootingsPolitical aspects.363.232Bronitt SimonGani MiriamHufnagel SaskiaUtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910463181603321Shooting to kill2445658UNINA
