The course stands at the crossroad of two matters, social law and criminal law.
Criminal labour law is the cross-over between two disciplines, labour law and criminal law.
It consists of studying the particularities of this branch of law, which is distinguished in several ways from more traditional criminal law, with a view to adapting to the needs of situations which lead to non-compliance with labour law. Questions relating to, among other things, criminal liability, administrative sanctions, and investigative powers of investigators.

Learning outcomes of the course :

At the end of the course, students must have mastered the key issues of social criminal law by emphasizing its specificity with regard to the so- called civil sanctions on the one hand, and to common criminal law on the other hand.
