- The book is the result of an 8-years project which addresses a fundamental, if not the most important, criminal legal theory question – what should be a crime? – in an unexplored context, namely EU Criminal Law. It is the first exhaustive discussion of nearly 30 years of EU criminalisation powers, considering the evolution of Treaty provisions, EU criminalisation policy documents and secondary legislation. By looking at the definitional harmonisation of crimes, it significantly develops existing debates on EU Criminal law, which have mainly focused on the legitimacy of judicial cooperation instruments such as the European Arrest Warrant.
