The question of security (according to some as an individual right, according to others as a collective request and in any case as a condition that the State must guarantee in the territory within our cities) represents for the legislator and the law at large an obligation "to protect", which by its very nature is ambiguous and difficult to circumscribe. Under this obligation, however, the legislator disposes of specific provisions for guaranteing and safeguarding the citizens. In fact, the "face of security" can take on different forms, depending on the perspective through which you look at it; nonetheless legislative reserves, measures and measures of emergency can be issued, as legal exceptions capable of placing the fundamental principles of the rule of law and even the rules of democracy in a state of temporary suspension.

The essential purpose of the course is therefore to provide students with the necessary knowledge inherent in the issues related to the Security of the Territory, as it is perceived and provided for in the Constitutional Law, in the jurisprudence, but also in international and European law. The social issues that are subjected to the public law of territorial security and that will be more taken into consideration, are in turn linked to the security crises that are facing Italy and Europe, commonly known under the guise of the so-called "Emergencies": immigration, the economic and resource crisis, crime, terrorism etc. The student will be "challenged" to put himself in the shoes of the legislator whenever he has been called to operate a process of balancing between conflicting interests, which involves, on the one hand, the need for security (presumed, preventive, subsequent) and on the other, the declared guarantee of rights, services and protection of constitutionally relevant goods, as provided for by the Basic Law itself, as well as by ordinary laws.

The methodological tool that is proposed, therefore, is the legal analysis with the simultaneous development of a critical approach to the term "security" in its constitutional meanings, and in the dynamics that develop around issues such as "security and immigration", "Security and economic resources (services)", "security and fundamental rights". Finally, the course further poses the question: is there a real autonomous and individual right or a collective right to security? In investigating this direction, issues related to citizenship and civil and political rights will be further addressed.

-Balancing of interests: constitutionally guaranteed rights and clash with the right to security

-The Securitarian paradigm. Differences, theories, examples.

-The Community paradigm. Differences, theories, examples.

Assessment

Every student, attending or not, has the right to take the final examination test exclusively by means of an oral discussion concerning the topics dealt with in the reference texts indicated above. The oral interview mode allows to evaluate in the most complete way, as well as the student's communication skills, the acquisition of analytical and critical skills required to the student in consideration of the complexity of the topics and arguments subject of the course of which he must demonstrate the knowledge and understanding. In the aforementioned discussion, the expected learning outcomes will be evaluated through the formulation of three or more questions. Evaluation criteria and scores are determined according to the following scale:

less than 18/30 - insufficient level: the candidate does not reach any of the learning outcomes foreseen at the point "knowledge and understanding skills";

18-20 / 30 - sufficient level: the candidate reaches, in particular, the learning outcomes foreseen at the point "knowledge and understanding skills";

21-23 / 30 - level fully sufficient: the candidate reaches, in particular, the learning outcomes foreseen at the points "knowledge and understanding skills" and "knowledge and understanding skills applied";

24-26 / 30 - good level: the candidate reaches, in particular, the learning outcomes foreseen at the points "knowledge and understanding skills"; "Applied knowledge and understanding skills" and "independent judgment";

27-29 / 30 - very good level: the candidate reaches, in particular, the learning outcomes foreseen at the points "knowledge and understanding skills"; "Knowledge and understanding skills applied"; "Autonomy of judgment" and "communication skills";

30-30 cum laude - excellent level: the candidate fully achieves the learning outcomes foreseen at the points "knowledge and understanding skills"; "Knowledge and understanding skills applied"; "Autonomy of judgment"; "Communication skills" and "ability to learn".

In the Department is active "Olympus", the Observatory for permanent monitoring of legislation and case law on health and safety in the workplace work. The Observatory carries out various activities including, in particular: - the management of a website with legislative databases, case law databases and databases of contracts, all concerning the safety at work, - depth articles, specialized reviews and thematic focus; - the management of an online scientific journal - "The Working Papers of Olympus", soon destined to mutate into "Law of occupational Safety and Health" (DSL) - in the field of security rights in the workplace, with ISSN, that employs a wide international scientific committee and refereeing procedures for the identification of essays to be published; - The organization of congresses and seminars including international ones. This observatory, whose website is freely accessible to all in a logic of public service, allows students of the CdS to find useful materials and documentation for their course of study and useful to draft their dissertation. It offers, also, through the mentioned congresses and seminars, the opportunity to meet the leading experts in the field and to analyse the most sensitive issues relating to it. http://olympus.uniurb.it/
