Università Roma Tre

The course aims to offer a broad, multi-disciplinary view of law. The legal science is not an autonomous science. Law is a social phenomenon and as such should be studied. Through an analysis of historical, sociological and philosophical sources, as well as thanks to empirical observation, during the course it will be studied the field of human rights, the topic of immigration and the semantic field of the prison by offering student theoretical and sociological tools to distinguish the normative functions of the prison from the social ones. The students will analyze in an active and empirical way the distance between the normative and the social function of the prison penalty.
