Crimes Against Public Administration
Antonio D’Avirro
Abuse of Office. Third Edition
Giuffré, 2009.
The “author analyzes the crime of abuse of office, which still proves to be an easily contestable law, retracing the path and various stages that led to the 1997 reform, highlighting the most significant passages.”
“Indeed, only through a careful historical reconstruction of this crime is it possible to understand the true reasons for the reform.”
The final solution, given by the Legislator, to the case of abuse of “office is the result of an increasingly felt need to avoid the overlap of criminal offense with administrative offense through the definition of more precise boundaries, in order to overcome that”“deficit”“of legality and determinacy that had characterized this crime until 1997.”
The work is enriched by the analysis of the issues addressed by the doctrine and the interpretations provided by jurisprudence.
