About
This volume examines the constitutionalisation of criminal law. It considers how the criminal law is constituted through the political processes of the state; how the agents of the criminal law can be answerable to it themselves; and finally how the criminal law can be constituted as part of the international order.

  1. 1

    The book delves into the "constitutionalisation" of criminal law. How does this concept deepen or challenge your understanding of how criminal laws should be formed and applied, moving beyond a simple legislative enactment?

  2. 2

    The authors discuss how criminal law is constituted through political processes. Can you identify contemporary examples where political influence or public sentiment has visibly shaped criminal law or its enforcement, and how does this align with or diverge from the ideals presented?

  3. 3

    A central theme is the accountability of criminal law agents (police, prosecutors, judges) to the law itself. In what ways do you think current legal systems succeed or fail in holding these agents truly answerable, and what personal experiences or observations inform your view?
