Abstract
This research is built on the observation that, in our system, injunctional models are increasingly used for the protection of public goods regarding safety sectors. However, these models are not clearly defined, which results in an undetermined regulatory framework. and in doubts in the legitimacy of their application. Despite the difficulties in building a definition, this project aims to understand whether there are inherent characteristics in the positivized injunctional models that would enable the use of this methodology. Moreover, reflections on the function assumed by the injunctional model are offered - which allows to recall various classic criminal law topics, such as the principle of offensiveness and the rule of law -. Furthermore, a study of the circulation of the model is undertaken, to see if it has actually been imported from the USA,, as legal literature argues, and if it is characterized by the same enforcement. The study, in a comparative perspective, the injunction in the common law system will be useful to identify, de jure condendo, characteristics that could make the Italian model most appropriate for achieving the objectives that the legislator intends to achieve for through him, and to evaluate its compatibility with our system.
