Abstract. Two recent legislative initiatives, still in their embryonic phase, highlight the style of the current approach of the legislation to criminal law, brandished as a club by a policy increasingly prone to show its muscles. The contribution seeks to understand the reasons for the phenomenon, which is accompanied by the risk of a regression of guarantees and fundamental rights, and to identify the basic lines common to the two texts that, although branded by several parties as unpresentable legal monsters, raise the attention of the media.
