Male and female students with disabilities and/or DSAs are asked to contact the lecturer at the beginning of the course.
"In the event that the student intends to anticipate the exam in a year prior to the one scheduled in the study plan, it is recommended that he/she attend the lecture series and take the exam in the first useful call after the lectures themselves have ended, thus respecting the semester of the teaching schedule." - Learning verification modality
- The test will consist of an examination to assess overall:
- the understanding and knowledge of the course issues;
- the ability to critically analyze with respect to criminological problems from scientific, ethical and social perspectives;
- the ability to use sociological and criminological language with respect to the phenomena investigated.
For FREQUENTING and NON-FREQUENTING students, the test is written and is structured as follows:
- a part with open and closed questions;
- a project research part on one of the paths of your choice from the program. - Extended program
- At first, in an extended and analytical manner, the course deals with the origins and developments of applied criminology and some issues of the profession in the Italian landscape.
In a second moment, some areas of intervention and analysis of criminology are analyzed, with a focus on prevention, and aimed at the students' completion of a project work.
