The course concerns the field of economic criminal law. Economic crime represents a test case for the estate of the leading institutes of the general part of criminal law and the remedies studied by the criminal legislature to combat crime in question have often proved decisive, in the modern criminal law.
The course aims to frame the "economic offense" from the standpoint of criminology and focuses on the general and special parts.

After completing the course students should be able to report the contents of the program, demonstrating adequate communication skills, using legal language and logical and legal arguments.
The first part of the course will be dedicated to "general part" of commercial criminal law.
Particular attention will be devoted to the study of political and criminal reasons of the penal discipline, even of the importance of a dialogue between the italian legislator and supranational sources (5 hours).
The course also includes the study of the legal person liability (Legislative Decree no. 231/2001) (10+5 hours).
The second part of the course will concern the "special section" of commercial criminal law, with particular regard to corporate crimes, financial crimes and bankruptcy crimes (15 hours).
