Program

The interdisciplinary seminar aims to provide an integration between the knowledge acquired throughout the course and the analysis of theoretical and empirical knowledge relevant to a particular  criminological topic. Accordingly, seminary classes are directed to the guidance and monitoring of individual works that culminate in the submission of a written review of the scientific literature.
Thus the content covered in the classes derive from the stages of preparation of this work, guiding students in the process of:  defining the topic of study; exploring and covering the main contributors to the field with a systematic analysis of their views; organizing and writing the review.
