The Impact of Directive (EU) 2016/680 on the Processing of Personal Data by Competent Authorities for the Purposes of the Prevention, Investigation, Detection or Prosecution of Criminal Offences or the Execution of Criminal Penalties and on the Free Movement of Such Data on the Existing Privacy Regime
TL;DR: The intention of the EU parliament to ensure a high level of data protection while also ensuring that same does not inhibit the free flow of data in the realm of the investigation and prosecution of crime materialized into the adoption of Directive (EU 2016/680 which will become applicable from 2018 repealing the Council Framework Decision 2008/977/JHA as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The intention of the EU parliament to ensure a high level of data protection while also ensuring that same does not inhibit the free flow of data in the realm of the investigation and prosecution of crime materialized into the adoption of Directive (EU) 2016/680 which will become applicable from 2018 repealing the Council Framework Decision 2008/977/JHA. This paper examines the changes that have been effected in the new Directive and how some of these provisions will play out on the Directive 95/46/EC being the general data protection directive which has been repealed by the Regulation (EU) 2016/679.The paper will also consider in some cases the relationship between the new Directive and the new Regulation.
The Directive (EU) 2016/680 also provides for a lot of new data protection rules not existent under the previous regime. The effect/possible impact of these are discussed in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of the new Data Protection Package that will enter into force in May 2018 on community policing is analyzed and the implications of both the General Data Protection Regulation (2016/ 679/ EU-GDPR) and the Police and Criminal Justice Authorities Directive(2016/680/ EU -PCJA Directive), as due to the hybrid nature of community policing platform/ applications both legal instruments will be applicable.
Abstract: Our analysis of community policing focuses on the impact of the new Data Protection Package that will enter into force in May 2018. We identify and discuss the implications of both the General Data Protection Regulation (2016/ 679/ EU-GDPR) and the Police and Criminal Justice Authorities Directive (2016/680/ EU -PCJA Directive), as due to the hybrid nature–function of community policing platform/ applications both legal instruments will be applicable. We insist on legal provisions of GDPR concerning information and transparency duties, application of data protection principles, consent of involved persons, processing requirements as well as rights of data subjects that may be affected by community policing information applications and activities. In this context we analyse new principles and obligations such as accountability as well as privacy by design, obligation to carry data protection impact assessment, designation of a data protection officer, etc. With regard to the analysis of PCJA Directive we considered and assessed the legal obligations in the light of the specific duties and tasks of police authorities with focus on categorization of personal data and accuracy. As case study we analyse the way the INSPEC2T project has dealt with the legal issues identified. In our conclusion we emphasize the importance of an adequate and balanced data protection framework on community policing. However we point out the potential issues that may arise due to cumulative application of two different legal frameworks (GDPR and PCJA Directive) and the lack of clarity of some, basic duties.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present findings from semi-structured interviews with 17 practitioners representing 14 exit interventions in 7 European countries, and identify analytical dimensions that provided the interview script's analytical framework (e.g., programme characteristics, implementation team, type of intervention, contact approach, programmes' duration, the use of risk and needs assessment tools, follow-up/monitoring strategies/aftercare procedures).
Abstract: This paper presents findings from semi-structured interviews with 17 practitioners representing 14 exit interventions in 7 European countries. Drawing from the literature, the study identified analytical dimensions that provided the semi-structured interview script’s analytical framework (e.g., programme characteristics, implementation team, type of intervention, contact approach, programmes’ duration, the use of risk and needs assessment tools, follow-up/monitoring strategies/aftercare procedures). Results suggest that the goals, role of ideology and contact approach differ considerably across exit programmes. The use of risk and needs assessment tools is inconsistent across the programmes. The programmes’ evaluation was unstructured and primarily qualitative. The study has practical implications, namely the significant effort required to train exit practitioners in risk and needs assessment tools. A multi-agency approach will help improve the follow-up and aftercare practices.

TL;DR: The European Union Maritime Security Strategy (EUMSS) Action Plan addresses challenges against the European Union's (EU) maritime security, ranging from ensuring overall peace to external border control, the protection of maritime infrastructures, common natural resources, and the environment.
Abstract: The European Union Maritime Security Strategy (EUMSS) Action Plan addresses challenges against the European Union’s (EU) maritime security, ranging from ensuring overall peace to external border control, the protection of maritime infrastructures, common natural resources, and the environment. One of the core EUMSS principles is respect for the rule of law, as reflected under ‘the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and human rights’.

TL;DR: In this paper, video nadzor u Srbiji nije regulisan posebnim zakonom, što otvara sporna pitanja, posebno u kontekstu zatvora, gde se odluka o konkretnom načinu primene ovih tehnologija donosi u okviru pojedinačne ustanove za izvršenje krivičnih sankcija.
Abstract: Kontinuirani tehnološki razvoj nameće nove izazove u pogledu zaštite privatnosti, budući da pametni uređaji i mehanizmi nadzora omogućavaju stvaranje velikih baza podataka o ličnosti. Kako na javnim mestima i u privatnim domovima, tako i u ustanovama za izvršenje krivičnih sankcija, video nadzor preti da ugrozi pravo na privatnost i stoga mora biti detaljno regulisan, da bi se uspostavio i održavao balans između privatnosti i bezbednosti. Uprkos tome, video nadzor u Srbiji nije regulisan posebnim zakonom, što otvara brojna sporna pitanja, posebno u kontekstu zatvora, gde se odluka o konkretnom načinu primene ovih tehnologija donosi u okviru pojedinačne ustanove za izvršenje krivičnih sankcija. Cilj ovog rada je da analizira na koji način je pravo na privatnost osuđenih lica konceptualizovano u međunarodnom pravu, da skrene pažnju na opravdanost, prednosti i nedostatke video nadzora u zatvorima, kao i da podigne svest o problemima koji se mogu pojaviti u ovoj nedovoljno regulisanoj oblasti.
