The UVa transforms for some days in the International Criminal Research Center
José María Ortín, a police inspector of the National Police Corps, criminologist, and forensic psychologist, has begun the VI International Seminar of the Spanish Society for Criminology and Forensic Science with a workshop about “Lie detection”. This seminar includes practical criminology which is held on the 14th and 15th of November in the Conference Room of the School of Law of the University of Valladolid.
The event is organized by the Spanish Society for Criminology and Forensic Sciences (SECCIF by its Spanish abbreviation) and the Higher Criminological Studies Center in collaboration with the University of Valladolid, the Official College of Psychology of Castile and León, the Civil Guards Union and the magazine “Criminology Notebooks (Cuadernos de Criminología)”.
The lecturers were addressed to the practice of Criminology and the following activities were included: a human corpse´s autopsy by Aitor Curiel, Specialist in Legal and Forensic Medicine, and a workshop of person´s search with scent dogs, directed by Álvaro Martínez, from the Canine Rescue Unit in the Speleology and Mountain Rescue group (Burgos).
Furthermore, the meeting allows knowing the functioning of criminal research in other countries. For this reason, we count on the presence of Christian Rivera, Special Agent of Research Office of the United States Air Force (AFOSI) and on the presence of Luciano Garafano, Brigadier general in the reserve of the Italian Carabinieri.
The research about terroristic crimes has also its space in these conferences, that´s why we count on the intervention of Inés Gaviria and Consuelo Ordoñez, from the Basque Victims of Terrorism Association (COVITE) about the more than 300 ETA murderers which are still unresolved; and the intervention of Geizka Fernandez, historian and the person in charge of the research from the Memorial Center For Victims of Terrorism.
Lastly, the writer, jurist, and criminologist, Paz Velasco has taught the attendances the “criminal and criminological typology of the homicidal women”; the professor of Medieval History of the University of León, Margarita Cecilia Torres, focus her intervention in the “Crimes and offenses in Medieval Spain”; and the graphic humorist from ABC, José María Nieto, puts us the mood in black humor with the conference “Someone has killed someone. Laughing with goosebumps”.
