Scope/Description:

Crime criminal law and criminal justice are no longer purely national issues in todays Europe. Criminal conduct is becoming increasingly denationalised because offenders can easily cross borders and through the emergence of the Internet and cyberspace. It is also increasingly common for individuals either to face criminal proceedings or to become victims of crime in countries other than their own. Nevertheless efforts to combat crime and to safeguard the rights of victims are still organised on a by and large national basis. These factors are driving the need for a better understanding of crime in Europe as well as many important debates to which it gives rise. They include how best to respond to crimes that affect more than one state how to strike an appropriate balance between respect for national criminal justice traditions and the tendency to harmonise legislation and practice and how to ensure that it is possible for suspects offenders and victims to rely upon an adequate level of protection of their fundamental rights wherever they come into contact with a criminal justice system in Europe. ...The European Journal of Crime Criminal Law and Criminal Justice provides a forum for public debate on these European issues. It seeks not only to bridge the gap between European players and European states but also to afford space for a nonEuropean view on developments in these fields. Our aim in other words is to offer a multidimensional international and comparative perspective on crime criminal law and criminal justice in Europe. We welcome papers from any relevant disciplinary outlook or approach including those that are contextually doctrinally empirically or theoretically based.
