With regard to dangerous individuals, the Italian legal system has two main tools: preliminary injunction and imprisonment. The latter aims at rehabilitating the detainee while at the same time safeguarding the society. Law No. 81/2014 has deeply affected this issue, making it more topical than ever, by closing Judicial Psychiatric Hospitals and replacing them with the so-called Residenze per l’Esecuzione delle Misure di Sicurezza (REMS), in an attempt to create a regulatory system which limits the resort to detention as much as possible, confining it to a subsidiary role.
KEY WORDS: Dangerous behavior - Neurosciences - Forensic psychiatry - Insanity defense
