Abstract

In recent years, the Italian judicial system has been at the center of both the political debate and policy actions aiming at modifying the territorial structure and the organization of the courts as well as the procedural processes. The measures adopted concerned the reorganization of the magistrate’s career and the reform of judicial districts. Despite the several reforms, the Italian judicial system does not reach yet the European standards, principally for the so called magistrate-duration procedures binomial, according to which the number of magistrates is above the European average level and the time of legal trials is too long compared with most European countries. Hence, performance and efficiency are worthy of attention in this field. Here, the territorial displacement of efficiency for the Italian judicial districts is studied using a DEA approach followed by a spatial analysis consisting in a PCA for macro-area where the problem of long trials is taken into account. We assess on the geographical characterization of both productivity and expenses of the judicial sector and provide indications to improve efficiency according to the dimensions of the courts.

摘要

近年来，意大利司法系统一直处于旨在修改领土结构和法院组织以及程序过程的政治辩论和政策行动的中心。所采取的措施涉及地方法官职业的重组和司法区的改革。尽管进行了几项改革，意大利司法系统仍未达到欧洲标准，主要是所谓的二项式裁判官任期程序据此，法官人数高于欧洲平均水平，与大多数欧洲国家相比，法律审判时间过长。因此，性能和效率在该领域值得关注。在这里，使用DEA方法研究了意大利司法区效率的领土转移，然后是空间分析，其中包括考虑长期审判问题的宏观区域的 PCA。我们评估司法部门生产力和费用的地理特征，并根据法院的维度提供提高效率的指标。
