      abstract = {The book examines how and according to which principles  the enactment of European criminal legislation is  legitimate. The approach adopted here focuses on the  constitutionalization of criminal law (i.e., the growing  importance of constitutional elements of the EU legal order  and the ECHR regime within criminal law). Further, it shows  how and why criminal law has a unique nature, and why it  should not be equated with other fields of EU law. The book  explains the basic research questions and methodologies,  before turning to the nature of criminal law at the level  of national law, and addressing the different levels of  justification for criminal law. Further, it examines the  most prominent features of European criminal law and the  difference between general EU law and EU criminal law, as  well as the theoretical ideals for European constitutional  structures and criminal law. Examples of how the law in  practice might not always be in keeping with these  normative ideals serve to round out the coverage.},
