Learning outcomes

Module:
-------
The course focuses on the illustration of the criminal procedure statutes, in view of the Constitutionally-sanctioned principles and of the International Conventions, on which the current laws are based. The objective is to provide tools for critical evaluation, as required for an understanding of the needs and values safeguarded by the criminal procedure. To this purpose, and given the significant modifications that the original code structure has undergone, also due to recent inconsistent and unsystematic amendments, attention will be given in particular to the systematic analysis and assessment of the statutes in the context of the general framework of the penal process system.
