Research group on Criminology, Legal Psychology and Criminal Justice in the 21st Century
The Research group on Criminology, Legal Psychology and Criminal Justice in the 21st Century, ECRIM, is based at the University of A Coruna. The group is setted up by scholars of the Departments of Criminal Law, Procedural Law, other legal fields and Legal Psychology.
Our team
The ECRIM’s membership is relatively gender-balanced and is comprised of almost 30 members.
Although the group is largely formed by lecturers and researchers affiliated to the University of A Coruna, it also includes members of other universities (University of Alicante, University of Cadiz, University of the Balearic Islands).
Publications
ECRIM research’s results and findings are published in a wide variety of books, book chapters and academic and non-academic journal articles.
These publication efforts garnered traction over time, as the research group gained momentum and an increasing number of ECRIM members decisively engage in these tasks. Please, see here ECRIM publications since 2007.
