Vol. 4 (2021)

Volume 4 (2021) of the Revista Electrónica de Criminología (REC) features a series of articles covering various criminological topics. One study focuses on predicting incarceration rates in Spain using ARIMA models to analyze data from 1971 to 2020 and provide projections for 2021-2023. Another article applies the Risk Assessment Protocol for Juvenile Offenders (VRAI) in a case study, demonstrating its usefulness in systematizing evaluation and therapeutic planning for minors under judicial measures. Additionally, an analysis of acquittal rulings in environmental crimes between 2009 and 2019 examines Articles 325 and 334 of the Penal Code to identify common causes of acquittal in these cases.
