Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study done in 2003–2005 by a University of Bologna
research unit, part of a larger project co-financed by the Italian Ministry of Education,
University and Research titled, Culture, Rights and Normative Socialisation of Children and
Adolescents, and coordinated by Guido Maggioni (University of Urbino). Many people deserve
credits for its realisation: the principals of the schools involved in the study (Prof. Mari, Prof.
Balboni, and Prof. Musolesi) as well as Prof. Amati and Dr. Di Rienzo, who gave us their
advice and long experience into the educational field. Previous versions of this paper were
presented at the Department of Sociology of the University of Washington, Seattle, October 25,
2006, and at the International Conference Law and Society in the 21st Century, Berlin, July
25–28, 2007.
