1 the London School of Economics and Political Science the Penality The London School of Economics and Political Science The Penality of Politics, Penality in Contemporary Italy 1970-2000 Zelia Anna Gallo A thesis submitted to the Department of Law of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, April 2013 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 100,728 words. 2 Abstract The thesis is a socio-legal account of Italian penality between 1970 and 2000. It analyses the Italian experience as a critical case study with which to test David Garland, Alessandro De Giorgi and Nicola Lacey’s theories of punishment in contemporary Western polities. It argues that Italian penality is not sufficiently explained by reference to Garland or De Giorgi’s meta- theories of ‘late modern’ and ‘post-Fordist’ punishment. Lacey’s institutional analysis provides a better framework, if modified to allow for the centrality of political dynamics in Italy. The thesis argues that Italian penality is a ‘volatile penal equilibrium’, whose ‘differential punitiveness’ is marked by oscillations between repression and leniency. The thesis provides an institutional analysis of Italian punishment, investigating in turn the Italian political economy, political culture and state-citizen relations, judicial contributions to penal trends, and the punishment of non-EU migrants. The thesis argues that Italian penality can be systematised by reference to political dynamics, in particular political conflict and political dualisms. Political conflict can broadly be defined as conflict between political interests, ranging from parties through to broader political groups such as families; dualisms are tensions produced by opposing institutional dynamics. The thesis analyses these conflicts and dualisms in terms of penal pressures, either in favour of penal exclusion or moderation. Italy’s institutional structure incorporates political conflict, and fosters structural tensions. The result is that Italy’s volatile political equilibrium is conveyed through its institutions to the penal realm, producing a volatile penal equilibrium. Ultimately, the Italian case study demonstrates that contemporary theories of penality should explicitly incorporate political dynamics and their institutional anchorage. Italian penality can be analysed in terms of the nature of the state and its institutions and inclusion and exclusion from political belonging. Contemporary theories would profit from incorporating this analysis. 3 Acknowledgments This thesis would have been an entirely different, and far less enjoyable, experience had it not been for my supervisors Nicola Lacey and Peter Ramsay. My thanks go to them for their support, insight and friendship over the years: they have been inexhaustible sources of inspiration. Thanks also to Tim Newburn, for reading and commenting on an early version of Chapter 2, and steering me towards an ever responsible use of criminal justice statistics. The Centro Documentazione Caritas Ambrosiana, with its library and resources, were essential for my research in Chapter 6. Many many thanks go to Linda Mulcahy, for her invaluable support throughout the last years of the PhD, and to Mike Redmayne for being a great teaching mentor. Thanks, of course, go to the LSE, the LSE Law Department, and the Olive Stone Memorial Fund, whose financial support made the writing of the whole thesis possible. I want to thank my parents, Tiziana Della Puppa and Cirino Gallo, for their guidance, love and patience, their immense foresight, and the great personal sacrifice they were willing to make for me. Finally, I would like to thank Sean Deel, my wonderful partner, who even read this thesis abstract to bibliography. All responsibility for the contents of this thesis, and any errors it may contain, is solely my own. 4 Table of Contents List of Figures and Tables ....................................................................................................... 8 Chapter 1 - Introduction ......................................................................................................... 9 I.

  • 1 TITLE: World Map of De Noha DATE: 1414 AUTHOR: Pirrus De
    World Map of de Noha #239 TITLE: World Map of de Noha DATE: 1414 AUTHOR: Pirrus de Noha DESCRIPTION: Claudius Ptolemy worked in Alexandria in the early and mid-second century A.D. and we know of him only through his writings on a variety of scientific subjects. Among these is the work known from the Arabic version of its title as the Almagest, which catalogues over a thousand stars, defining the position of each and explaining how to construct a celestial globe. His Geographia can be seen as a logical sequel. It gives the latitude and longitude of places, ideally from astronomical observation, as a basis for drawing maps of individual regions and of the whole world, and discusses possible ways of projecting the curved surface of the world on to the flat surface of a map. Ptolemy saw the world as a complete sphere, but the inhabited area as only a part of it, stretching south some 16 degrees beyond the Equator, north to about the Arctic Circle, east a little beyond Malaya, and bounded on the west by the Atlantic. Although his lists locate places by their geographical coordinates it is clear that these did not all come from immediate observation but were worked out from whatever information was available, such as accounts of journeys giving distances from one place to another; this means that their appearance of great accuracy is often spurious. The oldest surviving manuscript of Ptolemy’s Greek text was copied more than a thousand years after he wrote; it dates from the late 12th or early 13th century.

  • Articolo: "L'ingiusta Detenzione E Il Suo Prezzo", Di Mario Iannucci (Pdf)
    “L’ingiusta detenzione e il suo prezzo” Dr. Mario Iannucci Psichiatra psicoanalista, Responsabile Progetto Eracle Regione Toscana Consulente Psichiatra nel Carcere di Sollicciano [Propongo volentieri, in questo periodo in cui si torna a parlare della Responsabilità dei Magistrati, il testo dell’intervento che effettuai al Convegno I nuovi danni, che Persona & Danno e altri organizzarono a Pistoia il 13/10/2012] Parlando a un prevalente pubblico di Avvocati e di operatori della Giustizia, si potrebbe facilmente immaginare che mi debba occupare in modo precipuo delle norme che regolano i risarcimenti per “ingiusta detenzione”. Io però non sono avvocato e a dire il vero, dopo trentatre anni di presenza in carcere, comincio ad essere un po’ insofferente per le norme dei vari Codici. Meglio: comincio ad avere una certa motivata diffidenza nei confronti di queste norme che proliferano, si sovrappongono e talora si contraddicono (sì, talora si contraddicono!). Specie nel caso di certe questioni. Vedremo se questo accade anche per la “ingiusta detenzione”. Cercheremo inoltre di capire in che misura la “ingiusta detenzione” abbia a che fare con l’annosa e mai risolta questione della “responsabilità dei magistrati”. Illustrerò tre casi che a me paiono emblematici. Partirò da lontano. Da quel momento che l’immaginario collettivo, ma anche l’interpretazione storica di qualcuno, identificano come uno degli avvenimenti storici simbolici dell’abbattimento del potere oligarchico, del potere delle caste: la Presa della Bastiglia, avvenuta il 13 luglio 1789. Ai fini della questione che mi accingo a trattare, evocherò quell’eroico momento storico attraverso una stampa che Gemma Brandi tiene nello studiolo della nostra casa: la liberazione del Conte di Lorges dalla Bastiglia quel 13 luglio, dopo 32 anni di prigionia.

  • A) the “Snail Judgments”: Between Private and Public Negligence A) the Three Snail Judgments
    A) The “snail judgments”: between private and public negligence a) The three snail judgments. On June 13th, 2009 the Italian Supreme Court confirmed the sentences of more than ninety years of imprisonment imposed upon the members of the clan headed by the Caltanissetta born leader Giuseppe “Piddu” Madonia for mafia-type unlawful association, drug trafficking, falsification and use of false coins. The defendants were proven guilty during the so called “Great Orient” trial, which had been celebrating ten years earlier before the Court of First Instance of Gela, presided over by a young judge destined, unwillingly, to be famous. Why a judgment, that was issued in 2000, became irrevocable1 only in 2009, leading to the late imprisonment, among the others, of two more than seventy-year-old defendants? The reason lies in the late issue of the reason for judgment2 by the presiding judge: indeed it was released ten years after the conviction and this caused the defendants a late knowledge and thus a late chance to appellate the verdict3. Was it an isolated episode of negligence on behalf of the presiding judge? To which consequences did this behavior lead? Actually the Great Orient trial was not the only one to be dragged out for years by that presiding judge: when he left the Court of First Instance of Gela to be posted to Milan as criminal prosecutor the unmotivated judgments amounted to nine. Therefore the Italian self regulation body for the judiciary (CSM) brought against him a disciplinary action and on March 24th, 2006 sanctioned him with the loss of six months of seniority.
