Reply to Marie Breen-Smyth, “Theorising the ‘suspect community’: counterterrorism, security practices and the public imagination”

Abstract

Marie Breen-Smyth’s recent contribution to the “suspect community” debate misunderstands and misrepresents my own and suffers from several other difficulties besides. I’m grateful to the editor of Critical Studies on Terrorism for the opportunity to make this brief reply.

Keywords:

• counterterrorism
• suspect community
