The Cambridge Companion To European Criminal Law

European Criminal Law has developed into a complex, jagged subject matter, which at the same time has become increasingly important for everyday criminal law practice. On the one hand, this work aims to do comprehensive justice to the complexity of the matter without sacrificing readability. In order to achieve this, the book's structure enables legal scholars and experienced practitioners to access the information relevant to them in a targeted manner and, at the same time, enables less oriented readers to gain access to European criminal law. Thus, the volume both answers basic questions and offers discussion in more specialised areas. Written by experts in the field, the book offers discussions which are both of the highest academic standards and accessibly readable. Provides a comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of European Criminal Law Brings together an international team of experts to discuss relevant issues in an accessible way The logical structure of the volume begins with the general or basic and then introduces its readers to the specific, allowing for a reading experience useful for all levels
