Cross-border execution of judgements involving deprivation of liberty in the EU (IRCP – series, 40)
€ 67,00
The introduction in 2008 of the Framework Decision on the application of the principle
of mutual recognition to judgements in criminal matters imposing custodial sentences
or measures involving deprivation of liberty for the purpose of their enforcement in
the European Union sparked discussions as to whether the practical operation of the
instrument would be compatible with its very objective, being the enhancement of
detained persons’ social rehabilitation prospects.
Transferring detained people back to their respective Member State of residence and/or nationality within the mutual recognition framework is somewhat precarious in light of the often substantial variety of Member States’ legal and prison systems. In this context, and following a call for tender by the European Commission, the authors conducted the biggest study to date on Member States’ material detention conditions, early/conditional release provisions and sentence execution modalities. In addition to exploring the diversity of legal frameworks, the study also assessed practitioners’ views on cross-border execution of custodial sentences in the EU.
This book contains both the EU level legal and practitioners’ analyses as well as the high level final report to the study, confirming preliminary concerns that flanking measures are urgently needed for a proper operation of the Framework Decision.
This is essential reading for EU policy makers, judicial and law enforcement authorities and for defence lawyers throughout the Union. Undoubtedly, this book will be an asset to everyone who is involved in or taking an interest in detention issues and cross-border execution of judgements involving deprivation of liberty in the EU.

The Montrasec demo. A bench-mark for member state and EUautomated data collection and reporting on trafficking in human beings and sexual exploitation of children (IRCP-Series, vol. 36)
€ 46,00
Recent European Union policy discussions have again highlighted the urgent need
for consistent recording and analysis of data relating to trafficking in human beings.
Without such a framework, the Union’s ability to assess the scale and nature of the
problem and, consequently, to formulate effective policy responses is severely impaired.
MONTRASEC – a model for monitoring trafficking in human beings, sexually exploited
and missing children – demonstrates that real progress can be made in addressing these
long standing difficulties.
Building on the work undertaken in the previous SIAMSECT research, a practical IT-tool has been developed by which the three phenomena can be described, interpreted and analysed in an integrated and multidisciplinary fashion. The IT tool also provides National Rapporteurs or similar mechanisms with enhanced and uniform reporting capacity. Recognising the European Union’s emerging policy line, the MONTRASEC IT tool provides a building block by which the European Commission or a future European Monitoring Centre on THB can make horizontal comparison between the reports of the member states.
This book describes how a workable IT tool with contents based on international legal instruments and definitions concerning the three phenomena, has been designed and tested by a range of operational agencies in two separate EU member states. Critical questions relating to compliance with both member state and European data protection and privacy legislation are addressed alongside the need to ensure the highest possible levels of security for sensitive personal data relating to both victims and authors. Furthermore, a CD is attached to this book, containing a live demonstration of all the features and functions of the MONTRASEC IT tool.
“The MONTRASEC demo” shows that it is actually possible to move beyond theoretical discussions concerning data collection to a point where agencies operating in the field are prepared to work within a unified and consistent data collection regime, inputting “live” data which can thereafter be analysed at member state and European Union level.
This book is essential reading for EU policy makers, judicial and law enforcement authorities and organisations working in the fields of trafficking in human beings, sexually exploited and missing children both in the European Union and in a broader international context. It will also appeal to the research community and anyone with an interest in justice and home affairs or criminal policy initiatives in the European Union.
