In this course, students should aim to:

-       acquire the fundamental notions relating to Italian criminal law and procedure.

-       develop a sufficiently autonomous ability to analyse the constituent elements of the crime, in the light of the constitutional principles of criminal law and the functions of criminal sanctions and alternative measures to punishment.

-       be able to explain the notions of criminal law learned in an appropriate way, being able to independently make logical-legal links within the subject, with an appropriate legal language.

-       be able to deepen the study of criminal law, and in particular to have acquired the tools for the decomposition into constituent elements of each crime.
