The editors of the 26 volumes in the Security Handbooks series are always formed by expert editors.
The focus of the volume is the Public Prosecution Service (Openbaar Ministerie).

The handbook paints an interdisciplinary picture of the OM in the Netherlands, looking at it not only from a legal perspective but also from other disciplines.
