Synopsis

Given the continuing pressure for reform in the field of criminal procedure in many parts of the world, the need for a book on comparative criminal law has never been greater. This book is based on the work undertaken by a joint committee established by Justice and the British Institute of International and Comparative Law chaired by The Rt Hon Lord Justic Phillips. The first chapter contains a historical overview of the subject and then examines current issues concerning criminal procedure in both Europe and elsewhere. This is followed by three chapters which give a detailed analysis of criminal procedure in France, Germany and England and Wales respectively. These jurisdictions have been chosen because of their historical importanceand their continuing influence on criminal justice systems worldwide. Each chapter is set out in a common form to facilitate comparison. The volume then provides and in-depth comparison of the three jurisdictions, analyses the common issues and concerns raised and examines possible strategies for reform.
