Civil Liberties

In a country famous for having the most CCTVs in the world, how safe are your rights?

Infringements of people's civil liberties, such as racial profiling by the police, take place on a daily basis. This work covers key issues as how every ethnic group on Earth has been victimized by racist laws, how laws banning hate speech can become dangerous, and how you can make a difference.Six types of execution are practiced in the industrialized world, torture is openly sanctioned by America, and infringements of people’s civil liberties occur daily.

Explaining what civil liberties are and why they’re worth defending, Tom Head shows how you can make a difference.
