Perspective de dezvoltare ale dreptului penal şi criminologiei în contextul integrării în Uniunea Europeană [Articol]

Abstract

In the context of integration into the European Union, the development of criminal law and criminology is of particular importance in view of the challenges posed by cross-border crime and the need for effective cooperation between Member States. The European Union aims to harmonize criminal law through the principle of mutual recognition, thus facilitating a unified approach to combating serious crime. Prospects for development are moving towards closer cooperation between judicial agencies such as Eurojust and the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO), which coordinate Member States' efforts to make justice more effective. At the same time, criminology is adapting through a threat analysis and preventive measures approach. Continuous assessment of crime risks, supported by European institutions, allows the formulation of strategies adapted to new forms of crime.
