Certain special powers are available to assist in preventing and investigating terrorist acts.

The Prevention of Terrorism Act of 1989 applies throughout Britain. It makes it unlawful to support specified organisations involved in terrorism.

The legislation also gives the police wider powers to deal with suspected terrorists. For example, the police may arrest terrorist suspects without warrant and hold them for up to 48 hours, and ministerial approval may be sought to extend detention for up to a further five days. There also exist special codified powers for the police to conduct security checks at ports and airports.

The 1978 Suppression of Terrorism Act brings into force in English law the provision of the 1977 European Convention on the Suppression of terrorism. It provides that a large number of offences often committed by terrorists are not to be treated as offences of a political nature, so that persons suspected of having committed them are liable to extradition under the relevant acts.

The 1989 Act contains strong powers to deal with those who provide financial support for terrorism, or who launder terrorist funds. Under these powers, the restraint or forfeiture of terrorist funds can be ordered. The legislation of Great Britain allows for reciprocal enforcement arrangements with other countries.

The Public Order Act 1994 gives the police new powers to stop and search for articles which may be used for terrorist purposes, and created a new offence of possession of such articles.

The government maintains that there should be no concessions to terrorist demands and that international cooperation is essential in tracking down terrorists and impeding their movement between countries.

Because of terrorist activities in London, the Anti-Terrorist Branch of the Metropolitan Police was formed in the British capital. Detectives from the branch are involved in the dangerous work of investigating acts of terrorism and politically motivated crime in the Metropolitan area. The Anti-Terrorist Branch was born from the Bomb Squad, itself formed out of necessity in 1971 when London became a target for the anarchist bombers of the Angry Brigade. Attached to this branch are the civilian explosives officers who have the dangerous task of dealing with suspect devices.

The government of the country began to think about defending the nation against terrorism as early as the 19th century. The Special Branch of the Police was formed in 1883 under the title of Special Irish Branch. Its activities were concerned with investigating Fenian bombings and the Fenians themselves, who were Irish terrorists operating in London and the provinces. The word ‘Irish’ was dropped from the name three years later and the Special Branch’s scope was widened to include providing personal protection and involvement in matters of national security.
