The main mission of the CJS is to foster the research of the School of Criminology, the Department of the Faculty which aims at developing scientific activity, teaching and providing services to the community, within the scope of Criminology, both from a theoretical and empirical perspective.
Created in 2016, CJS designs and develops research projects within 5 lines of research:
CJS members develop their research work within these research lines while simultaneously supervising research projects within the Master’s Degree and PhDs in Criminology.
Research at CJS has taken place through national and international projects and in partnership with several Portuguese and foreign entities, including other higher education institutions, but also from civil society and, particularly, from the Justice area. CJS members have also provided services to the community of significant relevance and impact. CJS also organises periodic conferences on current criminological topics, providing the community with information on the most relevant research. For this purpose, it has counted with the presence of researchers and professionals of national and international renown.
Currently, this Research Unit is composed of a group of effective, junior and external researchers. Its Board of Directors includes:
