In the late 1960s, there was unrest between the Catholic minority and the Protestant majority in Northern Ireland. Andreas Spreier examines how the British legal state reacted to the political violence by looking at state court and internment policies, which transformed from the use of the military and internment without legal proceedings into the criminalization of the IRA by means of the police and justice system.
