Abstract

An important part of the End-of-Degree Assignment (EDA) in Criminology is done on sensitive topics. After the first promotions of graduates, this article analyzes how the Criminology students conducted their EDA due to their important implications in the safety of the participants and the investigators, the bad management when leaving the fieldwork that burns it for the further promotions, and an inadequate management of the feelings and emotions of the students. For the analysis, the experiences of 83 graduates in Criminology (43% of the universe of the Criminology students who conducted their EDA in Spanish universities) were analyzed, through the different phases of the research process from the access to the leaving of the field. The answers were analysed according to: i) the perception of risk, ii) the evaluation of the research method, iii) the use of safety measures, iv) the relationship with the group and v) the emotions and feelings. The answers work out a typology of students whose in-depth analyzes are addressed in future research.
