Managing the Activities Against Trafficking in Human Beings
2012
Organized crime has a long history and has permanently adapted to the weaknesses of the legal system, procedures and operational capabilities of the national Law Enforcement Agencies. Economic discomfort appears to be the main reason for illegal migration movement throughout the world. Due to unemployment, many human beings become victims of trafficking- prostitution and slavery. Nevertheless, many of the willing migrants undertake the hazardous travel to their destination country with criminal syndicates services specialized in people smuggling. Psychological impact for the victims of human trafficking for prostitution is huge. For trafficked human beings there is a big trauma and finding …
La tratta di esseri umani: la politica criminale multilivello e la problematica distinzione con il traffico di migranti
2018
Il contributo affronta il tema della tratta di esseri umani in una prospettiva di contrasto multilivello, che mette in rilievo la dignità della persona, quale meta-valore ordinamentale, e la considerazione delle esigenze di contrasto alle nuove forme di criminalità. A tal proposito, si evidenza la necessità di una considerazione integrata delle due prospettive, ormai recepita nell’approccio olistico di contrasto al fenomeno affermatosi a livello sovranazionale. A fianco della tradizionale repressione penale, il Protocollo Trafficking in Persons alla Convenzione ONU di Palermo sul crimine organizzato transnazionale inserisce rilevanti norme sulla prevenzione, la cooperazione tra Stati e la p…
INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY FOR BUSINESS INVOLVEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMES. THE CRUCIAL ISSUE OF (SO-CALLED) ‘NEUTRAL ACTS’
2021
The intertwining between individual and collective level in international crimes is tested on the possible co-responsibility of corporations and heads of businesses who carry out economic activities in various ways functional to the commission of such crimes by the military or political leaders of a group or a state. On the basis of the principle of self-responsibility, related to the individual criminal responsibility (art. 25 Rome Statute), the consequent assessment of the facts in question is easier for business activities directly instrumental to violent acts. It is more problematic, in- stead, for ordinary business activities, which therefore appear neutral and unrelated to the illicit…

Cyberharassment Victimization on Three Continents : An Integrative Approach
2022
This article introduces and applies an integrative model of cyberharassment victimization. The model combines routine activity theory (RAT), the general theory of crime (GTC), and the personal resources approach to analyze risk factors for victimization while acknowledging the protective role of a sense of mastery. Survey respondents were aged 15 to 25 years (N = 4816) from the U.S., Finland, Spain, and South Korea. Logistic regression models were used to analyze cyberharassment victimization. RAT-related factors were positively associated with cyberharassment victimization. Low self-control was positively associated with cyberharassment victimization in the U.S., Finland, and Spain but not…
Justicia transicional y justicia reconstitutiva
2014
RESUMEN. El presente trabajo contrapone dos versiones de la justicia transicional: para la primera, minimalista, se trata de una justicia ordinaria que solo es excepcional porque debe ejercerse en condiciones extremas que no afectan sin embargo a su naturaleza. En cambio, en la segunda concepción, la justicia sale profundamente transformada ante el tipo de violencia política que debe afrontar, e inaugura de forma permanente una posición diferente de la justicia en la democracia. El sentido profundo de la institución de una nueva categoría de crimen, el crimen contra la humanidad, es esta exigencia de repensar el papel de la justicia asignándole la tarea de proteger la política de sus gérmen…
L’impresa mafiosa? Colletti bianchi e crimini di potere
2016
Assumendo una prospettiva multidisciplinare e partendo dai risultati di una ricerca condotta sul campo tra il 2013 e il 2015, il volume esamina il complesso network delle relazioni interne ed esterne a due gruppi di imprese sequestrate e confiscate per infiltrazioni mafiose, osservandone i cambiamenti negli aspetti economici, finanziari, organizzativi e sociali sia nel periodo che precede il sequestro o la confisca, sia nel periodo in cui il provvedimento è in corso. L’elevato dinamismo che caratterizza i crimini messi in atto dagli imprenditori coinvolti e il contesto in cui avvengono rendono assimilabili, sotto molti punti di vista, i casi considerati alla cosiddetta criminalità dei colle…
The effects of the anti-mafia entrepreneurial behavior on firm performance: an empirical study on southern Italian small-medium enterprises
2015
The organized crime is a relevant ethical, cultural, legal, sociologic and economic issue in many countries. In the last years there have been some positive signs of a reaction against the mafia like the successful experience of Addiopizzo, an anti-bribery association founded in Palermo in 2004 that today counts over 500 affiliated firms. Gambetta (1993) suggests the mafia could better be understood as a profit maximizing corporation in the marketplace for private protection. Despite this position has been criticized (Scalia, 2010), it highlights the crucial role of the pizzo for the mafia activities. In this study, we identify as “Anti-mafia Entrepreneurial Behaviour” (AEB) the choice of t…
