The course will equip students with the specific juridical competences, both substantial and processual, necessary for all the professional dealing with this delicate sector.
In order to complete the framework of the minors’ protection in the field of the criminal law, some specific provisions concerning the mistreatment and child sexual exploitation and abuse will be taken into consideration.
