M. Caslini (2026), The Supreme International Crime: On Power and Inequalities in Light of the Special Tribunal for Aggression Against Ukraine
Addressing the limited criminological scholarship on the crime of aggression, Martina Caslini’s article, “The Supreme International Crime: On Power and Inequalities in Light of the Special Tribunal for Aggression Against Ukraine” (International Criminal Law Review, 2026), explores its place within political and state crime studies, the structural inequalities underpinning impunity, and the potential of a victim-centred approach informed by the transitional justice paradigm to challenge them.

L. Squillace (2026), Sicurezza e pratiche di controllo nello spazio pubblico: un’analisi tra forze dell’ordine e giovani in un quartiere di Milano
The peper offers a brief reflection on control practices in public space, drawing on research conducted in Milan’s San Siro neighborhood aimed at investigating the relationship between young people with migrant backgrounds and law enforcement.
R. Cornelli (2025), Minori e criminalità. Le etichette che hanno successo e i dati che fanno pensare
An analysis of the available, well-established data does not seem to support the emergency narrative of rampant youth violence. If anything, it points to the hypothesis – initially supported by monthly incarceration trends – that political choices are accelerating the crisis of the juvenile justice system, leading to overcrowding in Juvenile Detention Institutes.

The volume Giovani, fiducia e devianza nelle periferie. Conoscere per intervenire, edited by Roberto Cornelli and Isaia Sales, seeks to examine not only what occurs when the relationship of trust between young people, institutions, and communities deteriorates—particularly in peripheral areas—but also how effective interventions can be developed, drawing on concrete experiences.
A. Ceretti, R. Cornelli (2026), Per una pace possibile. Responsabilità, giustizia e riparazione al tempo delle guerre

G. Valducci (2025), Critica della vittima ideale e giustizia riparativa: da un discorso sulle vittime (ideali) a un discorso della vittima (reale)
The article critically examines the concept of the “ideal victim” and its pervasive role in contemporary public discourse (both political and media-related). While this discourse denies recognition to certain “real” victims (individuals perceived as outsiders and marginalized), restorative justice emerges as a paradigm capable of deconstructing this form of discursivity.
