Criminal Law - Mantovani

The work, now in its twelfth edition, takes into account significant regulatory changes in important sectors of Criminal Law.

It is confirmed as an excellent basic manual for learning criminal law.

The new edition in particular stands out for its updates and for its undisputed style which is further refined and perfected.

It is one of the most important manuals of criminal law, so important that it is often used in post-graduate schools for reviewing the subject.

In addition to criminal law scholars and students, this volume intends to be an "open dialogue" also with practical operators. For these reasons, although starting from the superior principles, the applicative aspects of positive norms are never neglected, nor has it failed to point out the consolidated positions and the evolutions of jurisprudence on the various questions, precisely because it is in the jurisprudential applications that the law lives its concrete existence.

The volume tends to return to the dimensions and content of the most solid European manuals, also with regard to the consideration of foreign doctrine and legislation. In this directive the author has tried not only to take into account the personological and criminological aspects of the various institutes, but to outline a synthetic framework of the multiple and opposing criminological directions, also due to the fact that many law faculties are still lacking in the teaching of criminology.
