Substantial and far-reaching changes have occurred
since the publication of the first edition of this volume in 1996, and there is
little doubt that we are currently witnessing the most profound transformation in
criminal justice across Europe since the French revolution. In the midst of the most
rapid and concerted period of criminal justice reform in the recent history of the
continent of Europe, this book is an attempt to take stock of the process across a
wide range of different jurisdictions, encompassing more than 200 million
inhabitants. It spans a broad range of traditions and provides a comparative account
of European criminal justice, compiled by a group of distinguished authors, to a
common format. What are the criminal justice norms, which are arising from this
process? Is it really possible to talk of an emerging European culture of criminal
justice or is the continent drifting into a post-modern diversity of styles and forms
of justice?

We firmly believe that a new consensus on many of these issues is beginning to emerge
across the continent, not based upon the domination of any single model of procedure
or on forced harmonization but on the growth of shared understandings about the
appropriate balance between the interest of the state, the community and the
individual in the crucial area of criminal justice. We hope that the essays will make
a significant contribution to the pan-European effort to evolve criminal justice
procedures which are both efficient and respectful of human rights.
