OverviewThe law of the EU has an increasing effect on domestic criminal law and poses a growing number of questions to practitioners and their clients. What happens if a client has commited a crime in another country? What if crimes have been committed in multiple countries? What limits does the EU impose on sentencing? In what circumstances can a European Arrest Warrant be granted, and how can a Warrant be challenged? What will be the impact on EU law measures if the UK Government exercises an opt-out?Answering these questions, and offering clear, practical assistance to those working in this complex area, EU Law in Criminal Practice is the only book to offer a comprehensive and practical guide to the interplay between European Union law and UK criminal practice. It enables the busy criminal practitioner to understand the legal landscape that the Treaty of Lisbon created, offering a thorough and practitioner-focused analysis of the relevant regulations and case law. From explanation of the institutional framework through to the substantive law of offences, sentencing, and appeals, the book is an invaluable guide for all engaged in modern criminal practice.

Extradition is an obvious area, but the authors remind us that there are over 130 criminal justice measures that directly impact on the administration of justice in the UK. The development of EU criminal law is covered before moving on to pre-trial and post-arrest. The authors grasp complex topics and produce a work of perfect clarity, something many authors aspire to but few actually achieve. This is not a mere cut and past of legislation but a razor sharp practical analysis of the issues.
