Criminal Justice In Europe A Comparative Study

This new book is the product of a six-year association between the Willem Pompe Institute for Criminal Law and Criminology at the University of Utrecht and the Law Schools of the University of Wales. 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) systems of justice, and the increasing "Europeanization" of each by an ever-increasing body of European law. It will be of great interest to scholars and practitioners interested in prison law and prison law reform, as well as lawyers and professionals working in the criminal justice system.
