Introduction
How are international and transnational crimes prevented, investigated, and prosecuted? Is criminal law an effective tool in the present context of globalized criminality?
These questions will constitute some of the criminal law's biggest challenges for the years to come and are the focus of the Global Criminal Law LLM track, which explores the application of criminal law - both substantive and procedural - in the context of global criminality, such as organized, transnational and international criminality.
The LLM Global Criminal Law is registered under the LLM CROHO label Global Criminal Law (60669).
Why study this program in Groningen?
This program has a strong focus on the application of criminal law in a globalized and internationalized context. It thus draws from comparative criminal law and international criminal law as well as from rules regulating international cooperation in criminal matters to explore particular types of global criminality: organized and financial crimes, cybercrime, and international crimes.
