The Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown have forced us to question the foundations of the punitive power and have imposed a debate both about criminal law as a tool for managing the health emergency, on the one hand, and about the consequences of the health emergency on criminal law, on the other. This article departs from this discussion and from the debate following the adoption of the so-called Bonafede reform of the statute of limitations, in order to propose some systematic thoughts on the role of non-punishment as a means of managing criminal policy. By combining dogmatics and criminal policy, this ariticle supports a teleological and systematic use of giving up on punishment as a form of implementation of the principles of extrema ratio and fragmentation. In particular, this article hopes for a systematic management of all forms of non-punishment by the legislator instead of a full delegation to prosecutors and judges.
La pandemia di Covid-19 e il c.d. lockdown hanno costretto a interrogarsi sui fondamenti del potere punitivo, imponendo un dibattito sia sul diritto penale come strumento di gestione dell’emergenza sanitaria, che sulle conseguenze di tale emergenza sul diritto penale. Il presente contributo prende le mosse da tale discussione e da quella, contestuale, successiva alla c.d. Riforma Bonafede della prescrizione, al fine di proporre una riflessione sistematica sul ruolo della non punibilità quale mezzo di gestione della politica criminale. Unendo il piano dogmatico a quello politico-criminale, si sostiene un uso teleologico e sistematico di tutte le ipotesi di Konflikterledigung ohne Strafe in attuazione dei principi di extrema ratio e frammentarietà. In particolare si auspica una gestione sistematica della non punibilità da parte del legislatore in luogo di una delega in toto alla magistratura requirente e giudicante.

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown have forced us to question the foundations of the punitive power and have imposed a debate both about criminal law as a tool for managing the health emergency, on the one hand, and about the consequences of the health emergency on criminal law, on the other. This article departs from this discussion and from the debate following the adoption of the so-called Bonafede reform of the statute of limitations, in order to propose some systematic thoughts on the role of non-punishment as a means of managing criminal policy. By combining dogmatics and criminal policy, this ariticle supports a teleological and systematic use of giving up on punishment as a form of implementation of the principles of extrema ratio and fragmentation. In particular, this article hopes for a systematic management of all forms of non-punishment by the legislator instead of a full delegation to prosecutors and judges.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
