Abstract

The police response to terrorism in England, Wales, and Scotland is considered with special emphasis on the necessity for good police‐public relations in a democratic state. Legal and organizational developments related to preventing terrorism are evaluated by reference to the traditional view of the police and the police functions in Britain. The idea of a "third force" and the role of the Army in support of the police are also considered. The conclusions lay stress on the complexities of countering terrorism in a democracy.
