Get PDFIn recent years a growing number of cases known as the radicalisation cases began to appear in the family courts, dealing with concerns related to extremism, radicalisation and terrorism and their impact on children and families. In this article I argue that the radicalisation cases represent an important legal development since the direct involvement of the family courts in preventing and countering (the involvement of children in) terrorism is unprecedented in the UK. This article subjects the radicalisation cases and the novel interaction between family law and counter-terrorism that they have engendered to careful analysis and critical examination. By factually and legally contextualising the radicalisation cases, the article examines how this interaction has taken place. The article goes on to critically interrogate why the radicalisation cases have appeared in the family courts at this point in time, arguing that the cases are influenced by and in fact reinforce a changing political context and a shifting counter-terrorism and security landscape that is anxious about and that seeks to regulate Muslim cultural difference, Muslim cultural life and political or ideological expressions of Islam. Finally, the article examines some of the worrying implications of this interaction between family law and counter-terrorism
Should the law facilitate the removal of the children of terrorists and extremists from their care?
No full textIn light of the recent debate in the media about whether the children of those convicted of terrorist offences should be removed from their care, Fatima Ahdash draws on case law to explain why this is both a difficult and dangerous issue for family courts
Childhood radicalisation and parental extremism: how should family law respond? Insights from a Local Authority v X, Y and Z
No full textA Local Authority v X, Y and Z (Permission to Withdraw) is a recent case in a series of cases appearing before the family courts, referred to as the radicalisation cases, which deal with concerns related to extremism, radicalisation and terrorism and their impact on children and families. The radicalisation cases represent a significant legal development and a unique legal moment, facilitating an unprecedented interaction between counter-terrorism and family law. The cases pose a number of important and serious legal questions: how should the law, and in particular family law, respond to fears that a child is at risk of childhood radicalisation? How should it deal with the terrorist and/or extremists as a parent? A Local Authority v X, Y and Z is an important radicalisation case which addresses these questions. In this article, I examine how the case deals with two issues: a) childhood radicalisation and its treatment by family law as a separate, free-standing harm which can justify compulsory state intervention and b) the question of parental extremism and/or involvement in terrorist related activity. I claim that although the case includes an important and welcome reaffirmation of the principles of family law in the face of worrying recent developments in the counter-terrorist landscape, this reaffirmation remains fragile, arguing that the case represents a missed opportunity for the family courts to critically reflect on and appraise the nature and purpose of family law’s interaction with counter-terrorism
Examining the interaction between family law and counter-terrorism in the UK in recent years
Get PDFOver the last years, the family courts of England and Wales have heard a growing number of cases, known as the radicalisation cases, where concerns about terrorism, extremism and radicalisation, and their impact on children, have been raised. The radicalisation cases are an important legal development, facilitating an unprecedented interaction between previously unrelated areas of law and policy: family and counter-terrorism. This thesis subjects the radicalisation cases to a close and critical analysis, examining the nature of, the reasons behind and the implications of the interaction between family law and counter-terrorism that they have engendered. It raises a number of questions including: why is this political problem- terrorismbeing dealt with by the family courts? Why is the law only now interested in the terrorist and/or extremist as a parent? What are the implications of establishing the home as a new frontier in the fight against terrorism? The thesis argues that the radicalisation cases have facilitated an extensive and far-reaching interaction between family law and counter-terrorism. It challenges simplistic official narratives which understand the radicalisation cases as an inevitable response to obvious childprotection risks arising out of recent developments within international terrorism. Rather, it maintains that the interaction between family law and counter-terrorism must be understood by reference to wider, significant changes in both family law and policy and counter-terrorism law, policy and discourse over the last years. It demonstrates how these changes, or conditions of possibility, which have opened up the family to increasing amounts of intervention, reconceptualised terrorism from a method of political violence to a family problem and expanded the reach of counter-terrorism are reflected and reinforced in the radicalisation cases themselves. It argues that the interaction between family law and counter-terrorism is a dangerous legal development that poses a number of worrying implications for human rights, the rule of law and open justice
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
