Aula de Criminología: Juicios Paralelos en Medios

This conference, part of the Aula de Criminología series, examines the phenomenon of "parallel trials" — how media coverage can shape public opinion before and during legal proceedings, particularly in cases tried by popular jury. The session explores how media exposure may influence jury deliberation, the reputation of those involved, and public trust in the judicial system, touching on journalistic ethics, the balance between information and sensationalism, and strategies proposed by criminology and law to mitigate these risks.

Held in the auditorium of the Biblioteca de Castilla y León in Valladolid, the talk is led by Paula Cárriba Alonso, coordinator of the Criminology degree at UEMC. It offers a thoughtful look at the intersection of media, justice, and public perception, making it a compelling event for anyone interested in law, journalism, or criminology.
