The teaching will be divided into three parts:
First part: analysis of the historical evolution of criminological thought by examining the different theoretical frameworks of reference influenced by the development of juridical, sociological and psychological disciplines. The aim is to identify the different theories that in the past and present have tried to explain the onset of the criminal phenomenon and its evolution over time in an interdisciplinary and integrated perspective.
Second part: study of victimology, of its main theoretical constructs and of victimization processes (identification of the categories most at risk, the position of the victim in the procedural field) and contrast strategies for the prevention of victimization.
Third part: study of the criminal phenomenon from the point of its phenomenological manifestations with particular attention to the motivations that lead to the crime and to the different conventional and non-conventional types of crime. We will also investigate the most effective strategies for contrasting and protecting the safety of the community
