The 27th Post Graduate Course “Victimology, Victim Assistance and Criminal Justice” in the Inter University Center Dubrovnik will bring together around 40 students from all over the world and approximately up to 30 internationally renowned experts in the field of victimology, criminology and criminal justice. The course covers areas like crisis intervention, crisis management, victim assistance, victim compensation, restorative and transitional justice issues, women as victims of violence, theoretical concepts of victimology, newest developments in victim assistance, economic victimization, international victim surveys, victim impact statements, etc. Experience in victimology and/or victim assistance is welcome but not necessary since this course is geared to a theoretical brush up. The course will be taught in English.
In Dubrovnik, participants live in private quarters (room without board is about 15 to 25 EURO per night) or in one of the hotels close to the Inter University Center (IUC). The IUC is located 3 minutes walking distance away from the world famous old city. However, the participants are responsible to find and book their own accommodation
The administration of the IUC is very helpful in providing a list of hotels (if you book please indicate that you are a participant in the IUC activities in order to get a special rate!) and you may check their website for a list of those: http://www.iuc.hr/accomodation.php For information on private accommodation please contact also the Tourist Information Center: phone: +385-20-323 350; Fax: +385-20-323 351; E-mail: tic-stradun@du.htnet.hr.
