The Italian government has introduced several legislative measures focused on security and economic support. Initially, a new security decree was approved to address juvenile crime by extending the presumption of criminal responsibility for minors, generally from age 14. This move was accompanied by a national strategy to promote social recovery through sports facility renovations in various penitentiary institutions and juvenile prisons.

Subsequently, the government implemented Decree-Law No. 193 to combat the rising cost of living and bolster public security. This decree provides economic relief to the agriculture, fishing, and freight transport sectors through tax incentives and public contributions to mitigate high energy and fuel costs. Additionally, the law allocates 50 million euros to compensate law enforcement personnel, including the State Police, Carabinieri, Guardia di Finanza, and Penitentiary Police, for overtime work performed during periods of exceptional operational commitment.
