La Criminología es, a grandes rasgos, una ciencia social que se dedica al estudio del fenómeno delictivo en todas sus manifestaciones. Sin embargo, como todas las realidades sociales, la delincuencia, la desviacion, la victimizacion o la violencia son fenomenos de muchisima complejidad que requieren de acercamientos teoricos, politicos, y metodos humanistas y rigurosos, pero tambien alejados del tabu, el fatalismo o el sensacionalismo. Es por ello que, desde varias asignaturas del grado en Criminologia de la Universidad Europea, nos surgio la pregunta: Como trabajar estos fenomenos en el aula ofreciendo una enseñanza vivencial y competencial que acerque a alumnos y profesores y fomente la responsabilidad social Os invitamos a conocer el Challenge Based Research (Aprendizaje Basado en Investigacion) en Criminologia, tomando como base la apuesta educativa protagonista de nuestra Facultad de Ciencias Sociales y de la Comunicacion, el CBL (Challenge Based Learning).

How we explain the evils of the world - and the darkest parts of ourselves - has preoccupied humans throughout history. In The Devil's Best Trick, Randall Sullivan investigates historical, religious and cultural conceptions of evil, from Biblical times to European witch hunts to the devil-worshipping 'Black Mass' ceremony. He travels to Mexico to participate in the 'Hour of the Witches' - an annual ceremony in which hundreds of people congregate in the jungle south of Vera Cruz to negotiate terms with El Diablo.He takes us through the most famous exorcism in American history. And he delivers original reporting on the shocking story of a small town in Texas that, in 1988, unravelled into paranoia and panic after a seventeen-year-old boy was found hanging from a tree and rumours about Satanic worship and cults flourished. Nimble and expertly researched, The Devil's Best Trick brilliantly melds cultural and historical commentary with a suspenseful true-crime narrative.Randall Sullivan, whose reportage and narrative skill has been called 'extraordinary' and 'enthralling' by Rolling Stone, takes on a bold task in this book that is both biography of the Devil and a look at how evil manifests in the world.

I understand and sympathise with the feeling you might have that you already know the Jeffrey Epstein story. But I am not here to tell you a story about Jeffrey Epstein, or even Ghislaine Maxwell. I am here to tell you the stories of ten women, many of whom have never spoken at length before, about the real impact of sexual trauma on their lives' In November 2021, Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of five counts of sex-trafficking of minors, and now faces twenty years in prison for the role she played in Jeffrey Epsteins abuse of four girls.The trial was meticulously covered by journalist and legal reporter Lucia Osborne-Crowley, one of the only reporters allowed into the courtroom every day. The Lasting Harm is her account of that trial, a gripping true crime drama and a blistering critique of a criminal justice system ill-equipped to deliver justice for abuse survivors, no matter the outcome. Giving voice to four women and their testimonies, and supplemented by exclusive interviews, The Lasting Harm brings this incendiary trial to life, questions our age-old appetite for crime and punishment and offers a new blueprint for meaningful reparative justice.

La muerte de la pequeña Asunta se convirtió desde las primeras horas en un crimen famoso, una gran oportunidad para los dueños de los medios de comunicación. Nunca se entendió el móvil, pero había algo de lo que nadie dudaba: la absoluta culpabilidad de los padres, rapidamente detenidos, pese a la falta de pruebas y la escasez de indicios contra uno de ellos. Expuestos desde el principio al juicio paralelo de la opinion publica, fueron forzados a pasear esposados ante una turba congregada para insultarlos y amenazarlos. Se difundieron bulos y murmuraciones. Se produjeron filtraciones constantes, a pesar del secreto total del sumario. Mientras husmeaban en la intimidad de los sospechosos, los periodistas pasaron por alto los errores y abusos de la investigacion judicial. Una revision serena del caso, cuando las luces del espectaculo ya se han apagado, suscita algunas preguntas inquietantes: ¿Como conseguir un jurado imparcial en tales condiciones? ¿Que sucede cuando un juez instructor aficionado a salir en la tele cree saberlo todo? ¿Puede un inocente ir a la carcel gracias al acoso despiadado de la prensa y las redes sociales?
