| Violence, Crime and Public Safety |
This line of research is intended to look at the issue of violence from a broader perspective, from deviant behavior and its socio-environmental, individual and institutional variables, to the violence produced at and by the institutions responsible for controlling it, thus embracing, within an interdisciplinary perspective, the several criminological, legal-political, psychiatric, psychoanalytical, sociological, historical and philosophical approaches. Similarly, it is intent on assessing alternative forms of social control, public security policies, criminal policies, transitional justice and violence prevention mechanisms, as well as instruments for reduction of damages caused by its multiple forms. |
