This research incubator is conceived as a space for the formation of researchers in topics surruonding Criminology and Criminal Investigation. This space will be lead by the carreer professor and director of the abovementioned program, but, considering the interdisciplinariety of the research that may be conducted, it may count with the aid of other carreer professors from the Research Group in Criminal Law and other research groups from the School of Law, as well as other teachers from the undergraduate program in Criminology and Criminal Research. Likewise, it is projected as a space for inter-institutional cooperation.
