Istituto Criminologia.it

Istituto Criminologia.it (also referred to as the Istituto Italiano di Criminologia) is a private Italian higher education institution — a Scuola Superiore per Mediatori Linguistici (SSML) — based in Vibo Valentia, Calabria. It was established in 2017 following Ministerial Decree no. 1930/2017 of the Italian Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR), which authorized it to establish and activate three-year higher education courses in Linguistic Mediation Sciences and to issue diplomas legally equivalent to the three-year university degrees of Class L-12. The recognition builds on the Ministerial Decree of 4 August 2000, Annex 3, published in the Ordinary Supplement to the Gazzetta Ufficiale no. 245 of 19 October 2000. The institute occupies Palazzo Gagliardi in Piazza Garibaldi, in the historic centre of Vibo Valentia. Its distinctive academic profile — described as unique in Italy — applies linguistic mediation to the strategic fields of criminology, intelligence and security. The three-year programme integrates the study of foreign languages with criminology, intelligence, criminal law, criminalistics and forensic computing, leading to a diploma equivalent to a bachelor's degree in Linguistic Mediation Sciences with a specialization in criminology and intelligence. Beyond teaching, the institute pursues scientific research and professional training. It has hosted numerous scientific events and keynote lectures with representatives of international bodies including the FBI, DEA, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and NATO, as well as Italian magistrates and institutional representatives. It collaborates with CSI:Forensic — the National Association of Criminologists and Handwriting Crime Experts, accredited by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy under Law no. 4 of 14 January 2013 — offering partnership courses such as an advanced course on criminal falsification of handwriting by mechanical means and a basic professional course in Write Crime (crimes of writing). The institute operates its own website, criminologia.it, through which it manages online enrolment, a student hub and news, and promotes its three-year degree course, study plan, facilities and insurance information. It is a private, non-listed educational entity.
