Teacher(s): Dan Kaminski, Isabelle Ravier
Language: French

Aims
- to understand the specific details of practice in relation to its conditions, context, its discipline of team work, its network of cooperation, its reference to the theoretical-methodological models it aims to employ;
- to identify these specific details in the different fields where criminology is employed
- to proceed to the intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary comparison of the testing that practice brings to bear on the models that govern it.
Main themes
Study of methodological models and their theoretical basis from the point of view of:
- their notion of potentially criminal problematic situations and of the change these situations are liable to lead to in it;
- their differential indications;
- their procedures and techniques of intervention as well as the specific processes used;
- their ability to lead to different kinds of intervention and desired goals (of a legal, sociological, psychological, psychiatric and medical nature);
- their ability to form the basis of individual, collective and institutional intervention;
- their adaptability to intercultural contexts;
- their ethical implications and social consequences.
Development of methods of analysis of these practice issues and of evaluation of their effects and results.
