The SUCCESS Project partner, Universidad Católica San Pablo (UCSP), will begin offering a new professional course in Criminology in May.
This course aims to provide the students with analysis skills as well as prevention and intervention strategies for criminal phenomena. This is the first postgraduate course on criminology in the south part of Peru. This professional program, developed by the Professional Schools of Psychology and Law and Political Sciences of the University, will include three academic lines: the first one focused on theoretical foundations of criminology, the second one referred to prevention and intervention in criminal behavior, and the third focused on criminology research.
The objectives of the professional program are:
- To strengthen the professional specialization, in postgraduate level, in criminology from a multidisciplinary approach.
- To get to know and understand the general frameworks of criminology.
- To be able to analyze and develop prevention and intervention strategies for criminal phenomena, focusing mainly on victims, delinquents and communities.
- To get to know the research methods and to develop research skills in criminology.
This program will be taught by UCSP professors as well as other national and international professionals. Furthermore, it is aimed at professionals from a variety of fields of study, including psychologists, lawyers, social workers, anthropologists, and others interested in the study of criminal phenomena.
