Books by Michael Head

Focuses on a range of powerful critical thinking tools drawn from logic, science, ethics, and political and social theory. Sections on terrorism and refugee law have been expanded, climate change is discussed throughout, and new chapters have been added on law and Indigenous people, lawyers' ethics and corporate power.

In the post-2001 context of economic and political conflict, this book presents an examination of the role of the criminal law in the protection of the existing order from political dissent and destabilization. It reviews offences such as rebellion, treason, mutiny, terrorism, riot and unlawful assembly in the UK, US, Canada and Australia.

Examines the national and international law, human rights and civil liberties issues involved in governments calling out troops to deal with civil unrest or terrorism.
