<i>‘This new edition provides an in-depth and detailed analysis of a wide range of current and essential topics in EU criminal law, with a focus on recent and future developments. Covering such diverse areas as the constitutional dimension, procedural and substantive law, but also the relationship with other areas of EU law and the external dimension, the book represents an important addition to literature on the topic.’</i>

- Maria Ludwiczak Glassey, Université de Genève, Switzerland,

<i>‘This updated Research Handbook offers a very comprehensive and timely overview of EU criminal law – comprehensive because of its wide scope, covering new developments as well as relationships with other fields of law; and timely because in this day and age, security and justice undoubtedly constitute top priorities in the EU context.’</i>

- Jannemieke Ouwerkerk, Leiden University, the Netherlands,

<i>‘This second edition provides students, scholars and practitioners with a unique, updated and multifaceted analysis of the current status of EU criminal law. The normative legitimacy of this area of law, the interplay between European and domestic legal frameworks, the pivotal role of Courts in the implementation of fundamental rights, and the emerging dimension of enforcement agencies are some of the key issues this Research Handbook brilliantly highlights.’</i>

- Stefano Manacorda, The University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, Italy,

<i>‘The book covers in an outstanding way all relevant areas of European Criminal Law, from constitutional aspects to the criminalisation of offences and the institutional setting. The analysis is most useful not only for the classroom and researchers but for anyone interested in EU law.’</i>

- Lorena Bachmaier, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain,

<i>‘As a distinct policy area, EU criminal law endeavours to offer citizens protection against cross-border crime while maintaining fundamental rights of suspects and perpetrators. This updated and expanded Research Handbook deals comprehensively with aspects of EU criminal law that have come to affect the course of European integration progressively and profoundly. The 26 chapters have been prepared by leading experts in their respective academic fields. The Research Handbook offers important insights for scholars as well as practitioners in the field.’</i>

- Jørn Vestergaard, University of Copenhagen, Denmark,

This thoroughly revised second edition provides an advanced analysis of EU criminal law as a structurally and constitutionally distinct policy area and field of research. EU criminal law is one of the fastest evolving and most challenging fields of law and this Research Handbook contains new and substantially updated chapters to assess recent legislative developments and CJEU case law.



Bringing together a diverse array of leading experts, the Research Handbook delves into key topics such as the normative legitimacy of EU criminal law, e-Evidence Regulation, and data protection, as well as the less visible effects of AI and mass surveillance. Engaging both theoretical and practical perspectives, the Research Handbook also surveys the external dimension of EU criminal law.



The Research Handbook on EU Criminal Law continues to be a fundamental resource for students and scholars of law; in particular, EU criminal law, international law, procedural law and constitutional and administrative law. National and EU policymakers, as well as judges, defence lawyers and human rights lawyers will similarly find the analysis of current legal action, combined with proposed solutions, useful to their work.
