Research lines

Research within the Leuven Institute for Criminology (LINC) is structured within eight research lines. Each line of research consists of one coordinator, who is responsible for the research within that line, other professors, teacher and research assistants, and volunteers.  Below you will find an overview of the lines of research within LINC.  For a summary of the completed and ongoing research projects within a line of research, click on the proper subject area.
