About
The Institute of Criminology at the Faculty of Law was established in 1954 as the first criminological institute in the former Yugoslavia. It was founded by the Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana and although it soon became independent, it has always maintained very strong links with the founding faculty. From the very beginning, the institute's main activities have been: research, teaching and dissemination of information, and organisation of library and documentation service. The institute employs professionals of different profiles: lawyers, psychologists, sociologists, specialist pedagogues, economists, philosophers and other social science professionals.
The Institute's specialised library has always provided support for Institute's research and is currently one of Europe's best in the field of criminology.
The institute, which was established to investigate the problems of crime and deviance on the one hand, and the reaction of society to these phenomena on the other hand, has since the beginning dealt with very different types of criminological research, from purely theoretical and basic, empirical, historical, longitudinal and follow-up research to the comparative and cross-cultural studies. The majority of studies have been, however, empirical and tried to explore the current trends of crime and other deviant phenomena, to investigate the operation of criminal and juvenile justice agencies, to analyse the existing social problems and apply its research results to the social practice by proposing adequate solutions to the policymakers. In these efforts, the institute was sometimes more, sometimes less successful, depending on the general social climate as well as on the attitudes and orientations of decisionmakers in criminal justice and other agencies dealing with crime and deviance.
