The challenges of teaching criminology in Nicaragua

Abstract

Nicaraguan history is marked by years of wars, dictatorships, revolutions and social upheavals, which, even in times of peace, have not allowed for the consolidation of a system of legal security in crime prevention, nor have they allowed for the tracing of a route in search of its modernization; at present, a system still persists without the possibility of formulating or evaluating public policies aimed at crime prevention, the study of the offender, delinquency, its causes and the treatment of the victim.
