Environmental Protection as a Trojan Horse of Criminal Law in the European First Pillar? A new Statement of the ECJ
2008
Dopo la storica sentenza del 13 settembre 2005, la Corte di Giustizia è intervenuta nuovamente a definire il riparto delle competenze tra Unione e Comunità in materia di diritto penale, annullando anche la decisione quadro sul rafforzamento della cornice penale per la repressione dell’inquinamento provocato da navi (caso C-440/05, Commissione c. Consiglio). Due erano le questioni fondamentali che attendevano una risposta da parte della Corte di Giustizia: 1) l’ammissibilità di direttive a contenuto penale per settori ulteriori rispetto a quello specifico della tutela dell’ambiente; 2) la definizione delle competenze della Comunità nella scelta del contenuto delle norme penali. Sul secondo p…

Interferenze e convergenze fra prostituzione e tratta nelle recenti proposte di incriminazione del cliente
2017
Il sesso a pagamento è un fenomeno fortemente eterogeneo: se la prostituzione volontaria è rivendicata come scelta dai c.d. sex worker, proprio lo sfruttamento sessuale costituisce una delle principali attività di lucro per i gruppi criminali che operano nel traffico di esseri umani. Di recente, in Europa, sembra riscuotere un certo successo la convinzione che l’incriminazione del cliente possa scoraggiare la « domanda » di persone da utilizzare nel mercato dello sfruttamento sessuale: oltre al modello svedese che punisce il cliente tout court, nella direttiva anti-trafficking si invitano gli Stati membri ad introdurre norme penali contro il cliente consapevole della condizione di soggiogam…
Trust in the educational partnership narrated by parents of a child with challenging behaviour
2019
This study examined trust in educational partnership in the context of early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Finland, from the viewpoint of parents of a child with challenging behaviour. Typically, such children have difficulties in regulating their behaviour and emotions. Semi-structured interviews with 23 parents were content-analysed in a narrative framework. The analysis revealed two critical elements of trust in educational partnership: (1) Child well-being in the day care centre, and (2) a supportive parent–educator relationship and collaboration. Critical factors in the first element of trust were educators’ respectful and good-quality relationships with the child and fair and…
The Recent Italian Reform on "Eco-crimes"
2021
The law 22 May 2015 n. 68 on eco-crimes constitutes an "epochal" turning point for environmental criminal law. The paper analyzes the main innovations of the reform, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses, both from the point of view of the theoretical "holding" of the regulatory solutions adopted, and with regard to their concrete effectiveness, in terms of strengthening the overall level of protection of the 'environment.

Compensating acquitted pre-trial detainees
2015
Abstract Western legal systems are far from having provided the same solution to the problem of whether acquitted pre-trial detainees should be compensated for the harm suffered as a result of detention on remand. Various arguments have been formulated in order to justify or criticize this compensation, but the possible incentive effects of this compensation on criminal behavior has not yet been considered. This paper analyzes these effects, focusing on the case where detention was lawfully and diligently carried out by State agents, and not having been caused by negligence on the part of the detainee. The paper shows that such compensation can either deter crime or encourage it, depending …
Restructuring the defence industry and arms production in Russia
2000
AT THE BEGINNING OF 1997, after five years of failed reforms in the defence industry, there took place a substantial change in the administrative structure running this sector. The Ministry of Economic Affairs took over the restructuring of the defence industry and thereby defined a new way of tackling reforms in this industrial sector. Three elements stand out in the new approach: intersectorality, a predominance of civilian elements and a greater realism. This approach, therefore, represents a break with the idea in force up to that moment of the best way to tackle problems related to the defence industry, which was greatly conditioned by its Soviet heritage. Although two years later this…
Climate change, ethics and sustainability: An innovative approach
2018
Our goal in this article is the analysis of the state of affairs, regarding the phenomenon of climate change and its impact in different areas. We synthesize the various approaches available in the scientific debate on this subject, mainly the one that affirms the existence of global warming and the current approach, which denies it. Beyond the controversy, what seems to be evident is that there is a multifactorial causality in a phenomenon that affects anthropogenic factors a well. Since some environmentalisms exclude the human being in their consideration of the ecosystem, and if they do, they accommodate man in their approaches always as a variable that distorts and deteriorates the envi…
The Discursive Dance : The Employee Co-operation Negotiations as an Arena for Management-by-fear
2015
The purpose of this article is to qualitatively describe and critically explain the discursive construction of employee co-operation negotiations in Finland as an arena for management-by-fear. The article consists of a theoretical review, covering the legislative basis of co-operation negotiations and recent research on management-by-fear. The empirical study consists of media texts and company media releases in Finland in 2012–2013. The main conclusions are that there are distinctive features in the co-operation negotiations that enable and enforce the possibility of management-by-fear, and thus destructive leadership. The process, supported by law and very much against the original aim, e…
