Certezza del giudizio, della colpevolezza e del giudicato: l'essenza triadica della cognizione ordinaria penale
2022
The essay aims to analyse the value of certainty in relation to the criminal proceeding of ordinary cognition. In particular, the Author intends to deepen the variegated and complex role that the legal certainty assumes, respectively, in the context of judgment, guilt and res judicata. This will allow to highlight the subtle but indestructible fil rouge running along the three souls of the jurisdiction in criminalibus, which brings into play the most essential interests, freedoms and values of an individual.

The defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the Italian criminal justice system
2021
The criminal law standard of Beyond A Reasonable Doubt (BARD) constitutes an evidentiary and judicial rule, formulated and applied for centuries in common law jurisdictions, which was expressly stated in the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure only about fifteen years ago. Unfortunately, the concept of reasonable doubt is inherently complex and does not easily lend itself to definition or refinement. In this regard, the Author examines especially the various positions and elaborations developed by legal literature and case-law in Italy, proposing a specific interpretation of the BARD rule that enhances and completes the particular procedural connotations of the adversarial system adopted i…
‘There should be no open doors in the police’: criminal investigations in northern Ghana as boundary work
2012
ABSTRACTIn criminal investigations by police officers in northern Ghana, the lines are fluid: civilians arrest suspects on their own, assuming the tasks of the police. Police officers are heavily influenced by civilians, often forming paid alliances with them. Yet such entanglements paradoxically enable state policing and integrate the police into society in a context of low resources and low legitimacy. Other practices limit and frame such transgressions. Using the concept of boundary work, this article analyses how actors maintain and negotiate the seemingly blurred distinction between state and society in West Africa.

Introduction: Security, Criminal Justice and Human Rights in Countering Terrorism in the Post 9/11 Era
2012
In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, many commentators claimed that the world had changed ‘forever’ with international terrorism constituting one of the defining global security challenges of the twenty-first century. The renewed focus on counter-terrorism law and policy also called into question whether the lessons drawn from previous terrorism emergencies are pertinent to the post-9/11 environment. Indeed, to what extent, if at all, are the principles identified for the liberal democratic response to traditional forms of terrorism applicable to a response to contemporary international terrorism? The historical, political and security implications of 9/11 notwit…

Cuarta revolución industrial (4.0.) o ciberindustria en el proceso penal: revolución digital, inteligencia artificial y el camino hacia la robotizaci…
2019
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la irrupción de la cuarta revolución industrial (4.0.) y sus consecuencias, especialmente la inteligencia artificial, en la justicia en general, y en la penal en particular. La incorporación de sistemas de expertos, algoritmos y modelos computacionales en el asesoramiento, predicción y toma de decisiones judiciales es ya una realidad. Se avizora una inquietante situación con la posibilidad de la robotización judicial o el juez robot (máquina inteligente) en sustitución del juez persona, que crea una cognición artificial que plantea dudas acerca de la individualización de la pena, de la posible responsabilidad de la máquina, la sensibilidad de víctimas…
La regola di giudizio nel patteggiamento tra cursus ordinario e revisione
2022
The article aims to deepen a fundamental and much debated profile in relation to the special rite of the Italian patteggiamento. In particular, the Author, in the light of an analysis of the undoubted particularities of the judicial mechanism of application of penalty upon request of the parties, intends to focus on the essence and the operation that the judgment rule assumes, respectively, in the ordinary cursus of criminal proceeding and in therevision, trying to offer an interpretative reconstruction that is able to reconcile the (substantial) needs of justice and the (formal) reasons for systematic coherence.
L’acquisizione della prova tramite tortura e l’operatività della sanzione processuale
2021
Nel 2017 il legislatore italiano ha espressamente introdotto nel codice di rito penale la previsione per cui le dichiarazioni o le informazioni ottenute tramite il reato di tortura non sono comunque utilizzabili, salvo che contro le persone accusate di tale delitto e al fine esclusivo di provarne la responsabilità penale (art. 191 comma 2-bis c.p.p.). A questo riguardo, lo scritto mira, anzitutto, ad approfondire il ruolo e le finalità svolti da tale norma nell’ambito del sistema processuale penale. In particolare, l’Autore, oltre a compiere un’attenta analisi della portata della sanzione processuale ricollegabile alle prove acquisite con la tortura, intende svolgere alcune riflessioni crit…
