Vision

 The entry into force of the accusatory criminal system in 2016 represented a step forward for Mexico in the development of criminal science. The way in which crimes are investigated and judged today implies the imperative observance of human rights, as well as the need for the authorities to be more careful in the development of their work. Given that, by imperative of article 1. of the Federal Constitution, every authority is obliged to defend human rights within the scope of its competence, it is necessary that there are suitable information channels so that people know how the public powers should conduct themselves; In this sense, the Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Penales contributes with texts by renowned researchers, who seek to clarify many of the doubts that any citizen may have in criminal and criminal procedural matters, among others that make up the range of disciplines that, in the end, they tend to form judgments and statistics that reveal the degree of advance or retreat of the country in different orders.

Objective

The Mexican Journal of Criminal Sciences consists of disseminating, in Mexico and abroad, the results of investigations into crime and its perpetrators, criminology, criminalistics, forensic medicine, criminal policy, the prison system, the means of defense against crime, victimology, hate crimes and other issues related to criminal science.
