Over European Journal of Crime Criminal Law and Criminal Justice

Crime, criminal law and criminal justice are no longer purely national issues in today’s Europe. Criminal conduct is becoming increasingly denationalised because offenders can easily cross borders or commit crimes in cyberspace. These factors are driving the need for a better understanding of crime in Europe, as well as many important debates to which it gives rise. Criminal policy is increasingly prominent on the political agenda of the key European players, above all the European Union and the Council of Europe. Not only are their growing roles reshaping the governance of criminal law and justice, but these bodies are themselves becoming a target of offending behaviour.

The European Journal of Crime, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice provides a forum for public debate on these European issues. It seeks not only to bridge the gap between European players and European states, but also to afford space for a non-European view on developments in these fields. Our aim, in other words, is to offer a multi-dimensional international and comparative perspective on crime, criminal law and criminal justice in Europe. We welcome papers from any relevant disciplinary outlook or approach, including those that are contextually, doctrinally, empirically or theoretically based. Articles should have a clear European focus. In order to be within the Journal’s scope, they should therefore: - discuss norms and/or policies of a European origin (European Union/Council of Europe), or - compare the legislation, policies or practices in European states, or - analyse the manifestations or representations of crime and/or its impact in Europe, or - contribute to the criminological debate in Europe.

‘Europe’ is understood in a broader, geographical sense (not limited to the EU).
