25,000 criminologists seek their own law

“The problem is that the public administration still does not know very well what we do.” With these words, the vice dean of the Professional College of Criminology in Madrid, Abel González, summarizes the reality that thousands of professionals experience every day. Together with the other collegiate entities, they have presented a bill so that their functions are delimited and thus prevent other profiles from occupying them. While private companies have been able to provide an outlet for these professionals, the public sphere is left behind, they denounce.

They present themselves as the main experts in the treatment and evaluation of crime, the risk of recidivism in the penitentiary field or in the analysis of legislative initiatives in the field of criminal policy and fight against the obstacles that the public Administration places on their hiring. The shortest way is to have your own law.
