EU and International Crime Control. Topical Issues ((GofS) – Governance of Security Research Paper Series, Vol. 4)

In nowadays’ globalised society an international exchange of
ideas and views is indispensable within the field of social sciences,
including criminology and criminal justice studies.

The Research Group Governance of Security wants to foster
contemporary international discourses on issues of crime and crime
control. Therefore, GofS started a Research Paper Series, combining
theoretical and empirical articles on issues reflecting the research
activities of GofS. This research group is collaboration between
Ghent University and Ghent University College in Belgium. GofS is
concentrating its research around the study of administrative and
judicial policy that has been developed with respect to new issues
of crime and insecurity.

Volume 4 focuses on topical issues in EU and International Crime
Control. The first five articles deal with intrinsic EU criminal policy
aspects, including in its transatlantic cooperation with the US. The
remaining three articles deal with anti money laundering control,
counter-strategies of criminal organisations and police torture.
