Annotation

Brief list of factors which have hindered the development of criminology in the Latin American countries presented at the Inter-American Conference on Criminology in 1971.

The factors cited are the isolated and individualistic nature of much research, lack of funds and resources, lack of cooperation between the different countries, lack of criminological training among the judiciary, lack of statistics, and the need to revise and update the penal codes. --In Spanish
