Editorial of dossier “Digitalisation and criminal justice: procedural aspects” – An introductory overview

The article, in addressing the issue of the digitalisation of criminal proceedings, focuses on three areas: creation, filing and storage of deeds and legal acts; means for the execution of notifications; remote participation in procedural activities and, in particular, hearings. This perimeter coincides with that of the call for papers at the origin of the seven contributions collected in this special issue of the RBDPP. The aim is to provide, also in the light of the Italian experience, an introductory overview of the issues raised by digital transition and a starting point for future reflection.
