Course context for academic year 2013-14
La Criminología Aplicada profundiza en la naturaleza, el alcance y las causas de la delincuencia y las nuevas formas de criminalidad, así como de los métodos utilizados para detectar, contrarrestar y controlar el comportamiento criminal, poniendo énfasis en el impacto que la delincuencia produce en la comunidad social y en el sistema de justicia penal.
La asignatura Criminología Aplicada tiene como propósito fundamental mostrar el conocimiento empírico y los aspectos aplicados de la Criminología más actual. Para ello se describen y analizan los principales resultados y conclusiones de la investigación criminológica aplicada al estudio e intervención con delincuentes y víctimas, y se indica cómo pueden contribuir estos conocimientos en el desarrollo de políticas criminales preventivas cada vez más eficaces y, sobre todo, en la necesaria consecución de una actuación del profesional de la criminología cada vez más especializada y adaptada a las nuevas demandas de la sociedad.
