WELCOME MESSAGE Criminology as unitas multiplex What is a unitas multiplex? What is the usefulness of the concept? What is the sense of its use in Criminology? 1. Unitas Multiplex is a paradoxical concept. It articulates opposite notions: the unity and the diversity; the homogeneous and the heterogeneous. Its author is Angyal, who, in 1941, created it in order to capture the complexity of the concept of “system”. Forty years later, E. Morin re-designed this notion through the concept of complex organized unit. 2. What is the usefulness of the concept? It is useful to deconstruct the idea of substantial unit, of inseparability, of indivisibility. It also illustrates the complex relationship between the parts and the whole; between the object and its components. 3. Its use in sciences. The naming of different scientific domains, such as Biology, Economics, Sociology, and so on, creates an illusion: that these disciplines are endowed of unity that is equivalent to an individuality. Scientific disciplines are seen as living organisms or persons. The naïf History of disciplines almost always describes their origins, including its “fathers”, “emancipation”, “maturity”, “latest developments”, and even its “conquests”… This apparent organic individuality, stemming from anthropomorphism, is easily deconstructed by rigorous method-driven historical and philosophical analyses, such as those developed by M. Foucault. 4. Its use in Criminology 4.1 The naïf histories of Criminology identify it as a living individuality. This kind of individuality does not exist. Criminology does not have a genetic identity nor “founding fathers”; it did not conquer anything and it still did not die. The prophecies of some critic criminology ideologists, from the 60s and 70s, concerning to the coming death of Criminology, have not been fulfilled. Criminology exists. And that is all. 4.2 What we can do, in a method-driven manner, is to analyze its conditions of possibility, its conditions of emergence, and its current conditions of 4 existence. We could and we should analyze it as a system of dispersion (M. Foucault) or as a unitas multiplex. Criminology is paradoxical knowledge. It is a complex system of thinking, composed by a huge range of theories, concepts, statements, objects, and practices that are many times opposite and contradictory. It still presents, however, the typical unity that characterizes complex systems. This unity is completely different from an individuality. 4.3 Where does this systemic unity come from? It does not come from its ontological identity. It comes from its formal, epistemological and methodological organization. 4.4 Allegory. For a better understanding I will use a demographic and a geographic allegory. i) Criminology is a vast territory with defined, yet open, borders. It is a territory connected with other territories of knowledge and science by a communication network. ii) In this territory there is a vast population composed by small, medium, and large groups: this is the criminological scientific communities. The community has an important property of the complex systems: self-organization. Through its self- organizing nature, the community defines the rules of its methods; it judges the value of theories and concepts and it operates “scientific revolutions” (Th. S. Kuhn). iii) Through diversity and dispersion, the community converges to a common social problem: crime and justice. It is the time for pragmatics and action: to enlighten the phenomenon through scientific rationality; to put solid scientific evidence at the service of the definition of criminal and security polices; to evaluate the efficacy and efficiency of policies and practices. In summary, Territory, Population and Action: these are the three systems of dispersion from which Criminology may and should get its organizational unity. Residents and visitors from criminological territories, welcome to Criminology as unitas multiplex!

THE SCHOOL OF CRIMINOLOGY OF THE FACULTY OF LAW, UNIVIVERSITY PORTO After a preparation period of ten years, the School of Criminology of the University of Porto was created in 1996. Following the European tradition, the School was created as an autonomous department at the heart of the Faculty of Law. The first activities included the preparation of Doctoral and Master degree programs in Criminology, besides other minor post- graduate courses. Following another decade, the Bachelor’s degree in Criminology was created. Currently, the School of Criminology integrates several international research networks on crime, justice and security. It divides its activities into three branches: Research, Education, and Community Services. The first branch is developed through the Crime, Justice and Security Interdisciplinary Research Center. The center directs the Local Observatory on Security and the National Observatory on Juvenile Delinquency. It also develops research on Law and Behavior (mainly on the decriminalization of drug use), Epistemology and History of Criminology, and experimental studies at the Laboratory and the simulated prison. This is a truly multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary group, congregating researchers from diverse domains, such as penal law, sociology, economics, philosophy, psychology, or biology. Regarding the second branch – Education – the School, besides the traditional degrees in Criminology (Bachelor, Master, and PhD), offers curricular internships that allow students to put the skills developed inside classroom into practice. This internship has strongly contributed to the recent formal approval of the profession of Criminologist by the Portuguese Parliament. Finally, the School of Criminology answers the needs of the community through a research-action framework. The output of this branch produces strong social benefits, with outcomes such as the evaluation of domestic violence programs, sentencing studies, restorative justice and mediation, and monitoring of the Portuguese experience on decriminalization of drug use. The School of Criminology embodies the concept of complexity, both in terms of its objects and its pragmatics. Its matrix aims at overcoming the notion that naturalism and moralism represent opposite methodologies, and its team works towards a true problem-solving Criminology. 6 III.
