Legislation used to counter-terrorism
This section explores the complex legislative framework for preventing, protecting and pursuing terrorists and those who support terrorist organisations.
At the root of it, terrorism is a crime. So criminal activities related to terrorism - such as identity fraud - can and should be prosecuted.
This section focuses on key legislation administered by the Home Office to ensure that such prosecutions take place.
You can find the codes of practice, Home Office circulars and forms related to this legislation in the News and publication section.
