Domenico’s expertise lies in comparative criminal law and European criminal law, with an emphasis on human rights protection and technology. He is particularly focused on the legal systems of Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and on issues at the interface between national criminal law, EU law and international law.

His most recent research deals with the criminal relevance of children’s activities on the Internet from a comparative, international and European perspective. In particular, Domenico has broadly investigated the issue of ‘sexting’, namely children voluntarily producing and sharing self-generated sexual images and videos. On this topic he has worked as an individual expert consultant for the Lanzarote Committee of the Council of Europe.

Furthermore, Domenico has delved into a wide variety of issues at the crossroads of criminal law, EU law, (international) public law, human rights, and technology. For instance, he has worked on European digital media, data protection, international humanitarian law, restorative justice, surrogacy and assisted reproduction, migration, children’s rights in national constitutions, and juvenile justice.

On these topics Domenico has published extensively in leading academic journals and with major publishing houses. He works and teaches in English, Italian, and German.
