Dear student:

Let me take this opportunity to invite you to the Summer School on Crime, Law and Psychology! CLP is an exciting opportunity for you to broaden your knowledge as well gain your own perspective on the interplay between law and psychology when examining criminal behavior of individuals and dealing with the problem of crime.

The academic part of the program will present issues raised by different approaches of psychology and law to the criminal justice system and will provoke discussions generating new ideas about the application of scientific knowledge in practice. Students will discuss these issues with academics and practitioners during guest lecturers, as well outside the classroom during site visits and special events.

An equally important component of the Summer School is aimed at bringing together a group of outstanding international students and providing students with an opportunity to exchange academic and cultural experiences during the classes and special events organized by CLP. Intercultural exposure is an important aspect of learning from each other. It may change your perspective about other nations and cultures and give you new skills and insights for your future development.

I also invite students to "brief in" the history and culture of Prague. Being famous for its miraculous historic architecture, the city has preserved a unique atmosphere, which survived through the Nazi and Communist destructions. There are simply not enough words to describe the beauty and splendor of Prague.

I hope that this program will provide you with new knowledge, new experiences and new opportunities. Faculty members, Summer School staff and I will do everything we can to make this program a once in a lifetime experience.

Recalling the success of our previous programs, I believe that CLP2010 will be an unforgettable experience for the faculty members as well for the students.

So do not let this wonderful adventure pass you by!
