The growing inter-relatedness between EC and EU law with national criminal law can be well illustrated with the example of enforcement of EU law. Criminal law is one of the latest examples of increasing European integration within the perimeters of explicit competences of EU/EC law which additionally is driven ahead by what functionalist theories of European integration might refer to as a spill-over of approaches. Necessities of crossborder crime and criminal enforcement make cooperation necessary. The latter takes place to a certain degree on the basis of positive law established on the basis of the Treaties. It also takes place in the context of evolutionary development of what one might refer to as 'administrative networks.'

The field of legal assistance in criminal matters is deeply influenced by, and intertwined with, international law. However, legal assistance in criminal matters, which accordingly has been traditionally ruled by conventional tools of mutual legal assistance, is beginning to change: Heretofore, legal assistance in criminal matters has been rendered in compliance with basic principles which reflect the international law parity of the interacting States while being open to modifications by way of bilateral or multilateral treaties between individual States. Now, far-reaching changes seem to be well underway: The European Union is gaining ground as a global player, aiming to implement an "Area of Freedom, Security and Justice". In order to reach this ambitious goal, a most important trend in criminal policy from a European perspective is to extend the principle of mutual recognition, which originally stems from the common market, to the area of criminal law. Taking an international perspective it is a remarkable evolution to see the European Union as an (arguably) idiosyncratic entity to commit its individual members to the fulfillment of obligations towards other non-Member States which the Member States themselves have not chosen. While both new approaches may be deemed more easily applicable beyond the realms of criminal law matters, namely in a commercial context, they indeed appear to be big steps in the sensitive area of criminal law which has traditionally been the sole responsibility of the sovereign State itself. Therefore the ongoing developments are bound to have international law repercussions. The following essay deals with these new developments in the field of legal assistance in criminal matters from a combined international and European perspective. We will be focusing specifically on the principle of mutual recognition since its implementation provides a litmus test for the state of procedural rights in the area of legal assistance in criminal law as well as its application within a reference-system previously governed by international law ultimately will modify international law. After describing foundational principles of legal assistance in criminal matters the ground will be prepared for further considerations by having a look at exemplary present application difficulties of mutual recognition, delve into the perspective of a rather radical simplification of transnational evidence gathering by application of the principle of mutual recognition. To give a complete picture we will examine the Intercontinental dynamics of legal assistance which has been put into effect under the rule of the European Union. ; peerReviewed

"A society's response to young offenders conveys important messages about its attitude to youth and has a significant implications for its futue. This book is intended to give an introduction to the laws governing young people who come into conflict with the law. It has a particular focus on Canada's Youth Criminal Justice Act." "While the primary focus of this book is on the legal issues that arise in the youth justice system, the book is premised on the belief that youth justice issues must be understood in a broader context. This book includes some discussion of constitutional, evidentiary, and procedural issues that are relevant to youth justice; it also explores some of the ethical and practical issues that confront lawyers and other professionals working in the youth justice system. The book considers the broader social and political context for issues of adolescent offending and youth justice."--BOOK JACKET
