“The European Union and Deprivation of Liberty is a must-read for academics and practitioners interested in EU fundamental rights and the rule of law. Its unique approach in drawing together different areas of EU regulation and illustrating commonalities acutely demonstrates the widespread and alarming nature of EU legislation providing for deprivations of liberty.” – Justine N Stefanelli,

“Mancano has certainly written a thought-provoking book on a complicated field of law. He has managed to discuss many relevant and topical issues in a clear and compelling way, and, while not hiding his viewpoints and interpretations, invites readers to develop their own. This type of writing can only inspire the preservation of the rule of law in a policy area that has such an impact on individual lives.” – Pim Geelhoed,

“Mancano masterfully addresses some of those issues [EU competence in criminal law], inviting the reader to a journey into an immensely complex legal landscape … Content-wise Mancano's book deserves to be praised … This monograph represents a first bold attempt to systematically present the EU approach to (custodial) punishment, by doing justice to its complex and manifold expressions.” – Adriano Martufi,
