John Jackson addresses Conference at the Max-Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law

John Jackson was a speaker at an international workshop on "Effectiveness and Proportionality: Modern Challenges in Security Law and Criminal Justice" at the Max-Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law, Freiburg, Germany from 17-18 October 2019.

The objective of the workshop was to develop an account of the concept of proportionality and the role that proportionality considerations play and should play in decisions about criminalisation, about policing and prosecution and about the use of preventive measures within modern global risk societies.

Speakers came from a range of jurisdictions within Europe and from the United States. John's paper examined the role of proportionality and human rights in the use of penal and non-penal responses to terrorism in the UK.
