It examines the different responses adopted in the two jurisdictions to current problems in criminal justice, against the background of European law. The topics included in this original study include: the influence of the European Convention on Human Rights; the influence of European Community law; the influence of treaties concerning criminal justice co-operation between the two systems; and, finally, the extent to which supranational mechanisms of criminal justice are developing in the wake of European integration. |

| Publisher Description: 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. |
