The Cambridge Companion to European Criminal Law

Offers a straightforward, comprehensive and up-to-date picture of the state of affairs in European Criminal Law.

The Cambridge Companion to European Criminal Law is of interest for a broad range of readers, from law students and the interested public, to specialized practitioners and legal scholars. Its essays, written by renowned international experts, combine the highest academic standards with comprehensibility.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.
