CRIMINOLOGICAL AND VICTIMOLOGICAL INTERVENTION (60 ECTS; 1 academic year)

It offers a highly qualified faculty, in addition to professional psychologists, criminologists, and jurists with extensive experience.

Crime, its consequences, and everything surrounding it are issues of great personal, social, economic, and political significance. One of its characteristics is that the problems associated with this phenomenon are always changing, as well as the strategies for confronting it.

Consequently, from an academic and social point of view, the need for advanced training in this area is fully justified. The Master’s in Criminological and Victimological Intervention provides students with the skills needed to assess and intervene on individual and social levels, promoting and improving prevention aspects related to crime, delinquency, and victimization.
