European criminal law faces many challenges in harmonising states' criminal justice systems. This book presents a systematic analysis of this legal area and examines the difficulties involved.
A comparative and collaborative study of the foundational principles and concepts that underpin different domestic systems of criminal law.
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.

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.
