CARLO CATTANEO E LA «SCIENZA PENITENZIARIA»

Abstract

The manifold genius of Carlo Cattaneo had the chance also to put his mind to the complex and antiquated regulation of the punishment in prison. In various circumstances, and moving from complementary perspectives, he aimed to highlight the need to put in place a virtuous circle of intersections between practical experimentation and theoretical elaboration, in order to give birth, through a multidisciplinary approach, to concrete and positive reform outcomes.
