MASSIMO DONINI

The course aims to explain general principles and legal institutions of criminal law, underlining the connections with the single offences.

Private law and constitutional law.

Module of Criminal Law I (General Part, A-L): covers the general part of criminal law and, in particular, the most significant core of the theory of crime, from constitutional principles to the analysis of crime, forms of manifestation and the system of penalties. The general part is the basis for the reading of all incriminations. Lectures will take place in presence and at a distance, and will focus on constant reference to legislative texts, case law and examples.
The analysis of cases and judgments will form the basis for a review of the general part and the learning of the legal qualification of facts. The course does not aim to analytically 'explain' the programme, but to delve into the really decisive aspects to orient oneself in the general part, which is a dense universe of conceptual, normative, cultural, technical and even political connections that make the study of criminal law particularly complex, but also interesting.

The course is conducted through face-to-face lessons. Attendance is not compulsory and in any case does not entail any programme 'discounts' if certified.

Oral assessment with intermediate tests held in order to understand whether or not the students have understood what was said during the course.
At the end of the course, the expected result is that the student is able to pursue the study of criminal law, and in particular to have acquired the tools to break down the constituent elements of the individual offences covered by the Criminal Law II course into their constituent elements.
