Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The European Journal of Crime, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice focuses on the analysis of criminal law and justice systems, particularly within a European context. It examines issues related to human rights in criminal proceedings, the admissibility and integrity of evidence, and the application of criminal law to new phenomena like crypto-assets and neurotechnology. The journal also addresses cross-border criminal investigations, mutual legal assistance, and the harmonization of criminal justice standards across different jurisdictions, including the impact of EU law and the European Convention on Human Rights.
