Abstract
In the burgeoning criminological literature on security, risk and preventive justice which has
followed the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers, ‘contagion’ or the deleterious effect of
counterterrorist policies on the ordinary criminal law has been the subject of some discussion,
mostly in the context of the threat which such ‘exceptional’ policies pose to mainstream
procedural values. This article seeks to build on this literature through an examination of the
impact of post 9/11 counterterrorism law and policy on the ordinary criminal justice system in
France. Given the extent to which counterterrorist law now encroaches on various aspects of
French criminal law, the argument is made for greater criminological attention to be paid to the
‘trickle-down’ effect of extraordinary law on the ordinary business of the criminal justice system.
