The second edition of EU Criminal Law has emerged as a pivotal reference point in the field since its publication in 2009. This revised and extensively expanded edition has been tailored to accommodate the remarkable expansion of EU criminal law as a distinct legal domain, as well as the profound implications of the Lisbon Treaty on European integration in criminal matters. The book provides a comprehensive and intricate examination of the fundamental aspects of European integration in criminal affairs, encompassing EU powers and competencies to criminalize, the evolution of judicial cooperation under the principles of mutual recognition and mutual trust, EU actions in the realm of criminal procedure, including legislation on the rights of defendants and victims, the evolving role of European bodies and agencies (such as Europol, Eurojust, and the European Public Prosecutors Office), and the development of EU-wide surveillance and data gathering and exchange mechanisms. Several chapters are dedicated to exploring the external dimension of EU action in criminal matters, including transatlantic counter-terrorism cooperation and the impact of Brexit on EU Criminal Law. Throughout the volume, the constitutional and fundamental rights implications of European integration in criminal matters are emphasized. This comprehensive guide, written with clarity and rigorous analysis, offers scholars, students, policy makers, and legal practitioners a deep understanding of this captivating yet intricate field.
