Review Pages: Planning for Livable and Safe Cities: Energy, Pollution and the Degradation of the Urban Environment

Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. During the last two years a particular attention has been paid on the Smart Cities theme and on the different meanings that come with it. The last section of the journal is formed by the Review Pages. They have different aims: to inform on the problems, trends and evolutionary processes; to investigate on the paths by highlighting the advanced relationships among apparently distant disciplinary fields; to explore the interaction’s areas, experiences and potential applications; to underline interactions, disciplinary developments but also, if present, defeats and setbacks. Inside the journal the Review Pages have the task of stimulating as much as possible the circulation of ideas and the discovery of new points of view. For this reason the section is founded on a series of basic’s references, required for the identification of new and more advanced interactions. These references are the research, the planning acts, the actions and the applications, analysed and investigated both for their ability to give a systematic response to questions concerning the urban and territorial planning, and for their attention to aspects such as the environmental sustainability and the innovation in the practices. For this purpose the Review Pages are formed by five sections (Web Resources; Books; Laws; Urban Practices; News and Events), each of which examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage of interest for TeMA.

Serial killer: il database mondiale

Lo studio dei serial killer, quanto mai complesso e poliedrico, è reso difficoltoso, in parte, anche dall’attuale progresso, che ha portato questi soggetti devianti ad evolversi notevolmente sia in termini di astuzia (staging) che di mobilità. Tutto ciò dimostra che negli omicidi seriali, nonostante l'importante lavoro da parte di alcuni studiosi che sono riusciti a proporre contributi teorici di notevole importanza, è particolarmente frequente la c.d. “cecità di collegamento” fra omicidi perpetrati dalla medesima persona, ma in parti diverse nel mondo. È, quindi, indispensabile la costruzione di una banca dati mondiale che consenta a tutte le forze di polizia di avere sempre a disposizione informazioni raccolte sulla scena del crimine relativamente ad omicidi particolarmente aberranti e privi di un particolare movente. Sarà quindi compito del profiler, con strumenti di supporto creati ad hoc e tecnologicamente avanzati, reperire sulla scena del crimine queste informazioni attraverso una metodologia chiara e condivisa, che saranno, grazie alla banca dati, messe a disposizione di tutte le forze di polizia. The complex and multisided study of serial killers is partly made difficult by the current level of progress that has led these deviant people to evolve in relation to the aspects of shrewdness (concerning the staging) and mobility. Despite the important work of some scholars who proposed important theories, all this shows that, concerning serial murders, it is still particularly frequent not to pay attention to links among homicides committed by the same person but in different parts of the world. It is therefore crucial to develop a worldwide database that allows all police forces to access information collected on crime scenes of murders which are particularly absurd and committed without any apparent reason. It will then be up to the profiler, through ad hoc and technologically advanced tools, to collect this information on the crime scene that would be made available to all police forces thanks to the worldwide database.
