Criminal networks analysis in missing data scenarios through graph distances.

2021

Data collected in criminal investigations may suffer from: (i) incompleteness, due to the covert nature of criminal organisations; (ii) incorrectness, caused by either unintentional data collection errors and intentional deception by criminals; (iii) inconsistency, when the same information is collected into law enforcement databases multiple times, or in different formats. In this paper we analyse nine real criminal networks of different nature (i.e., Mafia networks, criminal street gangs and terrorist organizations) in order to quantify the impact of incomplete data and to determine which network type is most affected by it. The networks are firstly pruned following two specific methods: …

A brief history of the formation of DNA databases in forensic science within Europe.

2001

The introduction of DNA analysis to forensic science brought with it a number of choices for analysis, not all of which were compatible. As laboratories throughout Europe were eager to use the new technology different systems became routine in different laboratories and consequently, there was no basis for the exchange of results. A period of co-operation then started in which a nucleus of forensic scientists agreed on an uniform system. This collaboration spread to incorporate most of the established forensic science laboratories in Europe and continued through two major changes in the technology. At each step agreement was reached on which systems to use. From the beginning it was realise…

La trasfigurazione del principio di legalità penale statale nel prisma del diritto europeo

2012

Il contributo esamina l’ormai risalente questione del possibile contrasto del diritto penale di fonte europea con il principio di legalità penale statale, alla luce delle novità introdotte dal Trattato di Lisbona. In particolare, esso evidenzia come la definitiva attribuzione di una competenza penale (pur sempre indiretta) all’Unione da parte del nuovo assetto istituzionale introdotto a Lisbona non abbia irreparabilmente compromesso l’esito del suddetto contrasto, nei termini negativi o di un’inevitabile capitolazione delle garanzie della legalità penale, o viceversa, del necessario innalzamento della barriera dei controlimiti contro il rischio di tale capitolazione. In proposito, lo scritt…

2019

Il Report analizza il diritto penale tedesco relativo a quattro diversi tipi di traffico: il traffico di migranti, la tratta di esseri umani, il traffico di stupefacenti e il contrabbando di sigarette. Il Report fa parte di una più ampia ricerca ("The New Era of Smuggling in the Mediterranean Sea", NESMeS) volta ad analizzare i suddetti traffici illeciti nell'area del Mediterraneo, con particolare riguardo ai seguenti paesi: Germania, Grecia, Italia, Portogallo e Spagna. Insieme al Rapporto tedesco e ai Report dei singoli ordinamenti giuridici interessati, la ricerca NESMeS ha prodotto un Report criminologico e un libro finale ("I traffici illeciti nel Mediterraneo.

Exploring Neighborhood Influences on Small-Area Variations in Intimate Partner Violence Risk: A Bayesian Random-Effects Modeling Approach

2014

This paper uses spatial data of cases of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) to examine neighborhood-level influences on small-area variations in IPVAW risk in a police district of the city of Valencia (Spain). To analyze area variations in IPVAW risk and its association with neighborhood-level explanatory variables we use a Bayesian spatial random-effects modeling approach, as well as disease mapping methods to represent risk probabilities in each area. Analyses show that IPVAW cases are more likely in areas of high immigrant concentration, high public disorder and crime, and high physical disorder. Results also show a spatial component indicating remaining variability attribut…

Stolen innocence? Observance of the EU Directive on presumption of innocence by Spanish crime reporting

2021

This paper examines the compliance of Spanish crime reporting with the principles of the 2016 EU Directive on presumption of innocence, which aims at preventing the publication of information that might bias the public and the jurors against the suspect. A content analysis applied to a sample of 200 crime news stories published by eleven of the most popular print and online news platforms in 2018 reveals that the Spanish press coverage of crime is centered around the pre-trial and sentence stages, with little attention to the oral trial. The full name and the face portrait of the suspect appear in roughly one-third of the stories, but this overwhelmingly happens in news stories reporting on…
