Synopsis

This new book is the product of a six years association between the Willem Pompe Institution for Criminal Law and Criminology at the University of Utrecht and the Law Schools of the University of Wales at Aberystwyth and Cardiff. It contains eighteen comparative studies on criminal justice in the Netherlands, England, and Wales, concentrating on the central themes of the convergence of the adversarial - British - and inquisitorial - Dutch - system of justice and the increasing `Europeanization' of each by an ever-increasing body of European law.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The theme of this book is the developing influence of European law and European integration on the criminal justice systems of the Netherlands and England and Wales. It examines the different responses adopted in the two jurisdictions to current problems in criminal justice, against the background of European law. The topics included in this original study include: the influence of the European Convention on Human Rights; the influence of European Community law; the influence of treaties concerning criminal justice co-operation between the two systems; and, finally, the extent to which supranational mechanisms of criminal justice are developing in the wake of European integration.
