First published in 1975, the juridical review becomes “Dei delitti e delle pene” with Alessandro Baratta as its editor in chief, and in 2006 its name changed into “Studi sulla questione criminale. Nuova serie di Dei delitti e delle pene”. Conceived within the Alma Facoltà di Giurisprudenza of the University of Bologna, this four-monthly publication seeks to observe critically the relationship between the Law (crime Law) and the sociology of deviance, criminality and social control. The authors of the articles come from different countries and they often contribute to compare world-wide distant juridical and social systems.
