The project is designed to create a network for the study and diffusion of tools for crime prevention, with particular emphasis on organised crime and solutions offered by recent European legislation.

The network includes the University of Mannheim (Germany), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Porto (Portugal).

Prevention measures, veering between penal law (substantive and trial) and administrative regulations, are deft tools, although less reliable than a criminal trial, able to strike the financial interests of organised criminal networks.
 

The study is aimed at professionals in the field (magistrates, lawyers, police forces), young researchers, students in the final year of Law degrees, and society as a whole, including journalists who are often called upon to tackle these topics.
