| description | New information technology and the increasing transnational mobility of persons and goods have lead to changes in patterns of both crime and criminality. As crime becomes more globalised, legal instruments designed to combat crime at the international level have flourished. One of the international policy forums issuing legislation aimed to reduce crime is the European Union. This article examines the background, procedures and goals of the EU policy toward harmonisation of the criminal law. It is suggested that important principles underlying the criminal codes of EU Member States since the Enlightenment are not always respected nor even discussed in regard to EU legislation on harmonisation. Founded on a bizarre concept of justice, the EU seems far more devoted to developing a harmonised and more severe penal system than to the traditional principles of a well functioning, necessary and proportional criminal law. |
