The approach adopted here focuses on the constitutionalization of criminal law (i.e., the growing importance of constitutional elements of the EU legal order and the ECHR regime within criminal law). Further, it shows how and why criminal law has a unique nature, and why it should not be equated with other fields of EU law. The book explains the basic research questions and methodologies, before turning to the nature of criminal law at the level of national law, and addressing the different levels of justification for criminal law. Further, it examines the most prominent features of European criminal law and the difference between general EU law and EU criminal law, as well as the theoretical ideals for European constitutional structures and criminal law. Examples of how the law in practice might not always be in keeping with these normative ideals serve to round out the coverage.Comparative, European and International Criminal Justice,2524-4558 ;2Criminal lawEuropean Union countriesCriminal lawInternational criminal lawEuropean UnionConflict of lawsConflict of lawsEuropean Criminal Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R20030Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R13006International Criminal Law https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19040European Union Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911140Private International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002Criminal lawCriminal law.International criminal law.European Union.Conflict of laws.Conflict of laws.European Criminal Law.Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law.International Criminal Law .European Union Politics.Private International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law .345.24345.24Kettunen Meritaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut787927MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910366571003321Legitimizing European Criminal Law1756150UNINA
