Ebook: EU Criminal Law

This is the second edition of EU Criminal Law which, since its initial publication in 2009, has become a key point of reference in the field. The second edition is updated and substantially expanded to take into account the significant growth of EU criminal law as a distinct legal field and the impact of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty on European integration in criminal matters.
The book offers a holistic and in-depth analysis of the key elements of European integration in criminal matters, including EU powers and competence to criminalise, the evolution of judicial co-operation under the principles of mutual recognition and mutual trust, EU action in the field of criminal procedure including legislation on the rights of the defendant and the victim, the evolving role of European bodies and agencies (such as Europol, Eurojust and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office), the development of EU-wide surveillance mechanisms, and the external (including post-Brexit) dimension of EU criminal law.
Covering all aspects of EU criminal law, with clear explanation and rigorous analysis, this book will give scholars, students, policy makers and legal practitioners interested in the subject a strong understanding of this fascinating but complex field.
