European Criminal Law

| Anteprima |
Since
their creation, the European Union and the Council of Europe have
worked to harmonise the justice systems of their member states. This
project has been met with a series of challenges. European Criminal Law
offers a compelling insight into the development and functions of
European criminal law. It tracks the historical development of European
criminal law, offering a detailed critical analysis of the criminal
justice systems responsible for its implementation. While the rapid
expansion and transnationalisation of criminal law is a necessary
response to the growing numbers of free movement of persons and goods,
it has serious implications for the rights of European citizens and
needs to be balanced with rights protections. With its close analysis of
secondary legislation and reliance on a wide variety of original
sources, this book provides a thorough understanding of European
Criminal Law and the institutions involved.
