Criminal procedure law

Given the persistent climate of continuous reform, research focuses on the issues covered by recent legislative interventions, in parallel with the evolution of the jurisprudential guidelines. In particular, the subject matter of the short trial and its controversies with correlations with the constitutional principles of reasonable duration and mandatory prosecution; the innovations in terms of legitimate impediment; the revision of the internal criminal judgement following ascertainment of the violation of human rights by the European Court of Human Rights; the acquisition and use of the so-called genetic evidence. Methodologically, the fragmented nature of the reforms is contrasted with systematic reconstructive lines.
