This book presents a collection of essays on the wide diversity of meanings of complex criminality. These essays were written to commemorate a national gathering of PhD candidates, from criminal law departments of different universities, at the University of Amsterdam on the 6th of June 2014. 'Complex criminality' is a very broad notion with many distinct meanings, e.g., complicated criminality -which may actually apply to all forms of criminality-, sophisticated criminality, common facts rendered more difficult to understand for lay persons as a result of translation into criminal legal jargon, or the systemic nature of certain crimes.

This book offers the reader unique perspectives on complex criminality by authors from various fields of specialization.
