This research report explores the relationship between policing, democracy, and rights in the Italian context, with a focus on the mechanisms of accountability applied to police forces. The police are a central actor in the rule of law, tasked with safeguarding fundamental freedoms, yet endowed with powers that can also threaten those very freedoms. Drawing a distinction between political-administrative control and individual accountability of officers, the report analyzes both the strengths and weaknesses of current oversight mechanisms in Italy.

The police are a central actor in the rule of law, tasked with safeguarding fundamental freedoms, yet endowed with powers that can also threaten those very freedoms. Drawing a distinction between political-administrative control and individual accountability of officers, the report analyzes both the strengths and weaknesses of current oversight mechanisms in Italy.
