Welcome to NOSP (Observation Center for the Criminal Justice System)!

​

NOSP is a research and outreach project at UFSB (Federal University of Southern Bahia) that seeks to bring together academics and criminal justice system agents in a space for dialogue. Its main objective is to establish contact with institutions of the criminal justice system and civil society organizations involved in public security and criminal enforcement. In light of the dilemmas and difficulties faced by the criminal justice system, this project aims to offer a constant exchange and reflection on its functioning and its everyday practices.
