La nuova disciplina dei reati contro la pubblica amministrazione

Abstract

The essay takes in consideration several aspects of the general problem of the legal persecution regarding crimes against the public administration in the Italian legislation. The most relevant criminal behaviours and acts envolving public administration are analyzed in their reality, as well as the most significant laws and decrees that have been issued in the last decades, considered in the frame of the typical legal and political situation of the Italian system, and examined not only in their technical formulation, but also in their practical attitude to achieve their declared goals. The author exposes the problems that seem to be the most relevant obstacles that interfere with the declared goals of the legislation, and explains why such kind of criminality cannot be considered only a legal and judicial problem, and cannot be powerfully barred without a strong reaction of the whole Italian civil and political society.
