Abstract

With this book the author achieves 2 objectives, the first one is present from the first line to the end and consists in highlighting the hesitations, ambiguities and collateral consequences, so often unwanted, of having justified the sanctioning administrative right as a kind of by-product of the criminal law. The second is implicit because it is part of the genesis of many of the most characteristic institutions of new administrative law. I refer precisely to a methodological attitude that has sought its justification and explanation from perspectives, techniques and principles outside it.
