Guild, Elspeth & Minderhoud, Paul, editors. IMMIGRATION AND CRIMINAL LAW IN THE EUROPEAN UNION: THE LEGAL MEASURES AND SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF CRIMINAL LAW IN MEMBER STATES ON TRAFFICKING AND SMUGGLING IN HUMAN BEINGS.
From the series 'Immigration and Asylum Law and Policy in Europe' volume 9. This is a study of the legal framework on criminal measures on trafficking and/or smuggling and facilitating illegal entry in six Member States: France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK, and the European Union. This issue is at the nexus of migration and criminal law. The system of criminal law in the Member States is a central part of the balance of the powers of the authorities and the rights of the citizen. The way in which civil liberties of the individual are weighed in comparison with public protection duties by the authorities is in essence a constitutional issue. The treatment of foreigners, in particular as regards their entry onto the territory and residence is not part of the constitutional settlements, but a field governed by state discretion and exceptionalism. The rules and administrative measures regarding entry, residence and expulsion of foreigners is not subject to the same civil liberties guarantees of due process as apply in criminal law. This comparative study examines how, in each Member State, the insertion of immigration into criminal law takes place. Do the rules of criminal law in respect of due process take precedence over the lower evidential and procedural requirements which are applied in the field of immigration? How does the criminal justice system deal with this new field where central constitutional issues are not present? There are two levels on which the insertion of immigration into criminal law takes place - the legal and the social. This book deals with both. On the one hand it looks at the laws and the court decisions on criminal trials in respect of immigrants for immigration related offences, on the other hand it looks at how the society (political actors, media, interest groups etc) discuss and develop this issue. This book is designed for policymakers, academics, students and activists concerned about the European Union. ; tall 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 430 pp. 9004150641.

Chapters dealing with general criminal law principles have undergone fundamental transformation, notably those on mens rea, mental incapacity and defence. Considerable attention has been given to the major decisions since Ihe third edition, for instance Morgan (on mistake), Majewskt (on intoxication), Lynch and Abbott (on duress) and Caldwell (on recklessness). Among the statutes incorporated are the Criminal Law Act 1977, Theft Act 1978 and Criminal Attempts Act 1981. Ready access to important cases and materials is vital to all students of criminal law.
