Vol. 6 (2022): REJIC. Special Edition Editorial Committee: Elena Casado, Cristina Domingo, and Patricia Saldaña

This special volume emerges in collaboration with REJIC and features articles by young researchers in our field, covering a wide range of topics and approaches. This collection of studies addresses various criminological issues from theoretical and empirical approaches. The state of the Local Police in the Valencian Community is analyzed, highlighting deficiencies in resources and coordination. The role of women in jihadist terrorism is also examined, moving away from gender stereotypes, along with juvenile crime through the analysis of women convicted of homicide. Another study investigates reports of child abuse, revealing differences in detection based on the victim’s gender and the reporting sector.

Crime prevention is explored through digital technologies based on citizen participation, while a study on cybercrime in video games analyzes the factors that precipitate or control criminal behavior online. Additionally, the prediction of protests in Spain is studied using time series models. Finally, the importance of disseminating young criminology research is emphasized, particularly during the pandemic, to strengthen the scientific network.
