With double-blind peer review, editorial regularity, institutional identification through ROR, print and electronic ISSN, as well as indexing in databases and directories such as Google Scholar, Directory of Open Access Journals, MIAR, BASE, ERIH PLUS, OASISBR, Latindex, LatinREV, Sumários.org, ROAD, OpenAlex, and international library presence through WorldCat, the IBCCRIM Bulletin brings together attributes characteristic of high-quality scholarly journals, expanding the visibility, reliability, and reach of its scientific output.
Taken as a whole, the IBCCRIM Bulletin has consolidated itself as a leading editorial space for legal and criminological critique, committed to democracy, the restraint of punitive power, the promotion of fundamental rights, and the strengthening of dialogue among research, advocacy, the judiciary, the justice system, and civil society. It is therefore a publication devoted not only to scientific dissemination, but also to fostering a critical, plural, and socially committed legal culture.
Current Issue
Vol. 34 No. 402 (2026): Boletim IBCCRIM - Maio "Dossiê em Homenagem a Claus Roxin"
This special issue of the Boletim IBCCRIM pays tribute to the jurist Claus Roxin (1931–2025), whose work has profoundly influenced contemporary criminal law. His thought remains current and indispensable, guiding rights-based interpretations of the criminal justice system and contributing to the containment of authoritarian tendencies in the exercise of punitive power. It represents a rare and valuable opportunity for critical engagement with his work and legacy, which will undoubtedly endure in the field of criminal sciences, fostering new reflections in light of contemporary challenges arising from complex social, economic, and cultural relations.
