Class Anthropology

The Anthropology course seeks to understand social behaviour in close interactions and its extension to social circles at different distances, the social axis and exclusion, competition and mutual aid; compliance with norms and their deviations.

The UC becomes relevant to the Criminology course, mainly, to critically analyse and creatively propose appropriate actions to social situations of diversity, complexity and deregulation where it becomes necessary to correct and empower integration models.
