Episodes of violence and aggression against representatives of the police force, professors, emergency room doctors and medical guards, psychologists, nurses, railway workers, public transport drivers and any other employee called to ensure a public service: increasingly frequent phenomena. "It would seem that a new feeling of hatred and intolerance against any representative of a public authority has developed in our society", reads a note signed by Professor Carlo Pilia, professor of private law at the University of Cagliari. He continues: "In an increasingly globalized and multicultural society, characterized by continuous processes of transformation imposed by the unsustainable pace of technological innovation and digital transition, there is a need to guarantee new models of justice and security that are capable of affirming the certainty of law and punishment in a post-modern world".

To analyze and discuss these issues, the University of Cagliari, on February 14 and 15, has organized two days of international academic meetings and discussions between Italy and Mexico entitled “Certainty of Law and Punishment – International Discussion on Justice and Security”. Along with the greetings of the institutional leaders of the judiciary and law enforcement, the intervention at the Conference works is planned by Professor Cristina Cabras with delegation for the University Penitentiary Center as well as the Honorary Consul of Mexico for Sardinia, the lawyer Renato Chiesa.

The first session of the works, which will see the participation of the National General Secretary of SIULP Felice Romano, an expert in security policies, will be held on the afternoon of Friday 14 February in Cagliari, starting at 2 pm in the Aula Magna Maria Lai of the Faculty of Law, in Via Nicolodi 102, while the second session of studies and comparisons will take place starting at 11 am on the morning of 15 February in the hearing room of the Court of Lanusei.

The two respective debates in the courtroom will be animated "in addition to illustrious speakers from the judiciary, the police, the bar association and the various professional orders operating in our territory, also by five Mexican professors from the Faculty of Law and Criminology, of the Universidad Autonoma di Nuevo Leon (Monterrey), who will arrive and stay in this capital to sign an important protocol of collaboration in the field of study and research on the topic with the University of Cagliari".
