University of Maribor
The Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security of University of Maribor (UM FCJS) is a university-level research and study institution in criminal justice and security studies, internationally acknowledged and taking part in developing knowledge, which constitutes a base for developing and offering internationally comparable undergraduate and postgraduate programs. The FCJS addresses the challenges of providing Slovenian society with a comprehensive criminal justice education system, not only because of the rapid development of this sector and the area of study but also because Slovenia is a member of the European Union, where the principle of the free movement of people, capital, goods, and services prevails. The mission of the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security is to develop the field of criminal justice studies (also known as police and security studies) based on the traditional academic disciplines of law, sociology, psychology, political science, criminology, criminal investigation, organizational science, information security, and computer forensics. More information is available on the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security (um.si)
