It is widely recognized that transnational criminal activities weaken the ability of states to maintain security within their own boundaries. Yet whilst there are fairly well-established legal frameworks for interstate criminal-law cooperation, there are ongoing debates over how to improve the governance of criminal justice and security institutions, in particular to improve transparency in decision-making, accountability in relation to the implementation of policies adopted, and public participation in criminal proceedings. This chapter provides a general introduction to global and European Union governance of criminal justice frameworks, before explaining the aims and objectives of the book and providing a brief summary of each of the chapters in this volume.
