This article deals with the paradoxical relationship between social harm and punishment, through criminal irresponsibility in mental disorders, so that the universality of crime, justified by the harmful act, is challenged by several currents, including, zemiology. Therefore, a normative and theoretical, even critical, analysis has been necessary in order to overcome the definition of crime through the social harm, which has proved to be purely circumstantial in the case of an affirmative defense as in the case of mental disorder. The recognition of social harm, strongly recommended by zemiologists, as well as social and structural accountability, is very important in the development of restorative justice. Consequently, the new doctrine goes beyond the consensual discourse on the notion of crime and the usefulness of punishment.

Urban violence refers to any form of violence occurring in cities and suburbs. It may involve delinquent acts such as theft, physical assault, harassment, vandalism, etc. This article aims to provide a scientific explanation for the violent behavior and practices of young people. The observations and analyses conducted in this case study will seek, through an ethnographic approach, to go beyond the collected data in order to identify this new reality currently experienced in cities, especially in overcrowded neighborhoods, and to determine the factors contributing to the spread of this urban violence phenomenon in our towns and villages. Urban violence is a complex phenomenon that can have serious and lasting consequences on the affected individuals, families, and communities, in addition to being influenced by a variety of factors, including social inequalities, economic factors, and peer group dynamics.

The form and nature of family communication in Algeria are influenced by a range of factors, such as globalization, modernization, the technological revolution, Western influence, changes in women's roles within the context of modernity and tradition, and various other elements. These factors vary based on the unique nature, size, customs, traditions, values, cultural level, role, status, and environment of each family. Considering modern changes, how do university students perceive and represent family communication? By examining the nature and models of family communication, this study aims to provide insights into the experiences of university students. The sample included 35 participants, / students from the Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University Centre of Maghnia.

Today's world comes with numerous challenges, especially in the educational space. New technologies and the virtual environment bring changes in values, attitudes, and behaviors, creating the premises for redefining the educational process on the one hand, and on the other hand, generating interest in the use of game elements in non-play contexts through gamification. The specialized literature supports this orientation by presenting the benefits and the problems that need to be addressed for better integration of gamification in university environments. One of the important issues highlighted is the need to adapt to cultural specificity, which is related to resistance to change, the nature of motivation, and the degree of appreciation for cooperation or competition, among other factors.

This article focuses on the notable increase in female criminality, which has generated special interest in criminology because it is a less common phenomenon than that of men. Analysis of female crime progressed beyond Lombroso’s early biological determinism. Recent studies show women are less frequently involved in serious crime compared to men, a difference that societal expectations of women may explain. Their social status and the choices available to them usually shaped women’s criminal behavior. Underlying this, however, is a less visible, less examined type of crime. Societal factors heavily influence the kinds of crimes women are involved in. This situation led to the development of specific theories about female crime, distinguishing itself from classical explanatory models focused on male crime. This theoretical progress contributed to a critical movement that challenged conventional methodologies, particularly through radical movements that emphasized the need to consider structural and societal aspects to understand female criminality.

As universities face increasingly high competition to attract students, social media are becoming more and more important in communication campaigns. The article aims to investigate the role that social networks have in admissions campaigns, by conducting a comparative study on the two main target audiences: high school students - who will go through the admissions process in the future and can provide information to develop possible strategies for future communication campaigns, and undergraduate students, who have already experienced the admission process and find out how they evaluate the impact of social media. As a result, we can see the role social media play in admissions campaigns and plan strategic directions for future communication actions.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how Romanian universities communicate on social networks during the July 2022 admission campaign. The findings indicate that, even though Instagram and Tik Tok have become the most popular social media platforms among young people, in the case of public universities in Romania, with a few exceptions, universities are still using Facebook as the main social media platform, Instagram & Tik Tok messages being usually only a duplication of Facebook content.
