In particular, the Espionage section (s.1) of this criminal law is analysed carefully, illustrated by leading cases of UK spies prosecuted under this section, particularly during the 1980's -- including MI5 officer Michael Bettaney and Geoffrey Prime who worked at GCHQ. The author also examines problems of evidence in espionage prosecutions, and the consent of the Attorney-General in cases under the Official Secrets Acts. This book remains the definitive treatise on the UK Official Secrets Acts, especially concerning the espionage provisions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45237550743703,"sku":"9781138686830","price":13281.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138686830.webp?v=1769216874","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/espionage-and-secrecy-routledge-revivals-the-official-secrets-acts-1911-1989-of-the-united-kingdom-9781138686830","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
