(objectives)
Teaching objectives 1. Providing a wide-ranging knowledge on the topic of socio-economic sustainability of criminal intervention, with a special focus on the issue of the application of disqualifying and incapacitating measures to companies, in order to enable students to critically understand the complexity of decisions that require balancing the various interests at stake (protection of the goods offended by the crime including health and environment on the one hand, business continuity and employment on the other) ; 2. Characterizing the teaching through case studies in order to: ensure mastery of the topic of potential negative effects of criminal intervention in complex contexts; provide the ability to reconstruct the rationale of regulatory institutions aimed at balancing the various interests at stake; offer the elements to analyze the effect-oriented decisions adopted by the judiciary. 3. Helping students develop critical thinking skills in terms of problem setting and problem solving, by encouraging the development and expression of independent thinking; 4. Developing mastery of technical-specialized language and the ability to elaborate legal arguments, through a participatory teaching mode that fosters learner-lecturer and learner-learner interaction; 5. Guiding students in identifying and memorizing key concepts, focusing on their interests and curiosities, and adopting a careful, participatory and responsible approach to study.
Expected learning outcomes
1. Knowledge and understanding By the end of the course, students will have acquired knowledge related to: - the general theoretical framing on the problem of the negative socio-economic effects of punishment; - emergence of the issue of unsustainability of punishment at the national and international level; - legal measures intended to reduce the side effects of criminal intervention against corporations, at the domestic and comparative level; - balancing exercise and consequentialist reasoning in criminal matters; - relevant case law on the management of the unsustainability of criminal intervention.
2. Applying knowledge and understanding By the end of the course, students will develop the ability to: - use the matter key-concepts to assess the complexity of criminal intervention in sensitive contexts; - interpret and evaluate the reasonableness of legislative solutions adopted to address the problem of side effects; - interpret and evaluate the role of the legislature and the judiciary in dealing with unsustainability of punishment; - assess the effects of existing statutory and regulatory provisions on the conduct of economic agents; - apply the balancing method and consequentialist reasoning to practical cases.
3. Making judgements By the end of the course, students will have acquired the ability to: gather and interpret information and data in order to make independent judgments about the issues involved; formulate hypotheses about possible solutions to the problems presented.
4. Communication skills Upon completion of the course, the ability to formulate rigorous legal arguments using appropriate technical-specialist vocabulary will be acquired.
5. Learning skills By the end of the course, students will have acquired cognitive and analytical tools that will enable them to deal autonomously with the evolution of the issues covered in the course, in a context of rapid change and characterized by a progressive evolution of the problems dealt with. They will know how to independently develop the sensitivity developed during the course and acquire additional knowledge useful for their future professional and study experience (lifelong learning).
