Editorial Policy:

The IBCCRIM Bulletin is a free, monthly publication that has circulated continuously since 1993, dedicated to disseminating qualified reflections and critical interventions on contemporary issues in the criminal sciences. Its scope encompasses Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Criminology, and Human Rights, always paying attention to the interfaces between academic production, criminal policy, and judicial practice. The journal also reports relevant case law from domestic and international courts related to this field.

The Bulletin’s editorial organization is flexible and follows the dynamics of legal-criminal debate. Its issues feature doctrinal contributions, criminal policy analyses, criminological studies, texts on childhood and youth, human rights and the justice system, as well as institutional statements and public notes. There is also room for emerging and socially sensitive topics, such as wrongful convictions, control of punitive power, procedural guarantees, state violence, and other core problems of the criminal justice system.

Commented case law is a permanent axis of the publication, offering critical analyses of decisions from state courts, higher courts, and international courts, seeking to bring judicial interpretation closer to specialized academic debate.

The Bulletin also publishes interviews, criminological epistles, and texts of professional memory and reflection (such as in the section Voices of Experience).

Overall, the IBCCRIM Bulletin’s editorial project seeks to strengthen a legal culture committed to democracy, the restraint of punitive power, and the promotion of fundamental rights, serving as a space for the circulation of ideas, qualified criticism, and dialogue between academia and practice.
