The overall aim an focus of the project
The project 鈥楩unctionality of the Criminal Justice System鈥� has explored the functional dimension of the criminal justice system, with particular focus on police law and criminal procedure. More specifically, the aim has been to contribute to a deeper understanding of the functional premises for the different norms, concepts and institutional practices of the system. The research strategy has been to concentrate on certain specific topics/areas following the lines along which the main functions of the criminal justice system are organised: the fundamental aims and prerequisites for a criminal justice system, legislation, the police and prosecution service, the procedure in courts, the correctional service and the interfaces between these institutions and the public. Through the individual projects, the project has also contributed to a deeper understanding of the criminal justice system as a (functioning) whole, as well as to new insights into specific aspects of the system. 听With regard to this, the project and the different individual research projects have been designed to reflect all central aspects of the system 鈥� its conceptual foundation, its key functions of legislation, investigation and judgment, its central rule systems of police law, criminal law, criminal procedure and administrative law etc.
The project has also integrated research on the interaction between the criminal justice system and other areas of law, such as tort law, mental health law and constitutional law, in addition to developments in EU criminal law and its interaction with national criminal law. Another main goal of the research strategy has been to make an impact on how the different actors in the system work to improve strategies, priorities and communication between different sectors.
