ABSTRACT
The logic of efficiency touched the judiciary system in 1999 with the introduction of the reasonable lasting of the judicial action, as a new constitutional principle, aiming to respond to the condemnations by the Court of Strasbourg for delays in Italian trials. Efficiency objectives introduce a new element of complexity into the implementation processes of the criminal law. The managerial logic reorganizes criminal justice in a reactive way. Prosecution in Italy clearly shows the relationship between public management criteria and criminalization processes, since the prosecutor decides whether to request the initiation of the criminal trial. Pre-trial inquiries are crucial in the process of secondary criminalization, representing a key phase for the reception and interpretation of people's fears and security concerns. The Turin model shows an approach that is characterized by a constant attempt to keep up with the prosecution files and provide a judicial answer to the largest number of crime reports.
