Conservative crime policies draw criticism. Many of the Conservatives’ crime policies would be #unconstitutional www.ctvnews.ca/federal-elec...

In November last year I gave a lecture at @unileiden.bsky.social about the implications and meaning of #populism and #penalpopulism in Italy.

The nice folks of Leiden Law Blog were kind enough to invite me to gather my thoughts and publish a post on this subject.

Thanks indeed!

The rise of penal populism in a non-punitive country? Is Italy a non-punitive society? David Nelken once famously described the Italian juvenile system as lenient for offenders. Recently, however, the country has seen a shift towards penal populism.

I am very glad (and somewhat struck by the fatal coincidence) to kickoff my activity on this platform with a post on #populism and #penalpopulism

50% increase in sentence severity in England and Wales over the last two decades.

If you are wondering how come we are running out of prison space in England and Wales when crime rates have been going down, well, the relentless increase in sentence severity seen in the last two decades might be explaining it. #Sentencing #PenalPopulism www.sentencingacademy.org.uk/wp-content/u...
