EUCPN/ENAA Mythbuster: Misconceptions about the administrative approach

This mythbuster discusses two common challenges related to the (implementation of the) administrative approach. Firstly, it discusses the myth that there is a discrepancy between the criminal-law and administrative approaches. While tackling organised crime remains a priority of the criminal justice system, the valuable role of administrative authorities remains largely unknown or undervalued in many EU countries. Secondly, an integrated approach requires both police- and administrative information to be shared among all relevant partners. This entails that both judicial actors and administrative entities need efficient information-sharing structures so authorities can make well-founded decisions.
