Abstract
Abstract This chapter examines the legal mechanisms which were available, both at home and in the colonial empire, to deal with insurrection and civil disorder. These were the suspension of habeas corpus, the imposition of martial law (the theory of which was problematic), the employment of air control in the control of ‘primitive’ colonial subjects, the passage of coercion acts, and the development, from the time of the World War I onwards, of elaborate codes of emergency regulations, creating a form of statute based martial law.
