‘This edited collection delivers a wide picture of the “governance of criminal justice” landscape in the EU, focusing on its very important aspects and legal argumentation. The authors address key questions regarding the present state and challenges for the future. Due to the complexity of the issues involved, the main subject matter has been appropriately considered from a multi-layered approach: international, transnational, supranational and national. In summary, the book is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate about criminal justice in the EU and it effectively deals with a subject that has gained enormous importance in recent years. It is a valuable resource for anyone with an interest in this area of research.’
