The Police and Criminal Justice Data Protection Directive: Comment and Analysis, Society for Computers and Law (SCL, UK)

Abstract

What is the current legal data protection framework for the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) personal data processing and what framework could be created in the near future? These two questions are constantly recurring in the EU data protection field, particularly after the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty. The amendment of the EU data protection regulatory framework currently under way offers a unique opportunity to re-evaluate past regulatory options and plan for the future.
