How do countries respond to terrorism? SINCE 9/11 Citizenship programme (3/6)

Third section of the SINCE 9/11 Citizenship six part education programme. This stage looks at different responses that governments have and could have to terrorism, using the attacks of 9/11 as the context. Students will be encouraged to critically explore ideas through choosing and justifying their own responses to 9/11. The UK Government’s response in passing anti-terror legislation could then be examined – in particular the dilemma between maintaining freedom and the rights of individuals versus the need to protect society from future acts of terrorism.
