Institute of Criminology, Sociology of Law and Judicial Research
The Institute of Criminology, Sociology of Law and Judicial Research, within the framework of the educational process, focuses on teaching interdisciplinary subjects whose foundations are primarily rooted in the field of criminal law, as well as in the findings of empirical sciences dealing with crime and society.
