The ‘Frontier Research’ series offers shorter publications in Polish and English that discuss the results of pioneering, cognitive, theoretical and practical research in the legal sciences, which lead to the development of new knowledge and fundamental and groundbreaking results, change the understanding of the legal system and have a high application value in the socioeconomic sphere.

All texts published as electronic publications in the Frontier Research series follow the open access model under a CC-BY 4.0 licence.

The series was initiated by Dr Marina Foltea’s publication entitled „EU-Tobacco Industry agreements and beyond”, which is the outcome of a project within the PMI Impact programme.

• Marina Foltea, EU-Tobacco Industry agreements and beyond
• Marcin Mleczko, Decyzje zobowiązujące w polskim prawie ochrony konkurencji. Problemy proceduralne i systemowe [Obliging Decisions in Polish Competition Law: Procedural and systemic problems]

The ‘Criminology’ series will include books that describe and analyse current criminological problems, such as the situation of crime in Poland, the characteristics of the perpetrators of criminal acts and the question of the effectiveness of re-socialising them and research on the functioning of the justice system. The series will also include works on victimology and criminal policy. The main goal of publishing the books will be to present empirical studies and the findings of analyses based on them. The published monographs will also include theoretical studies.

The series was inaugurated by a jubilee book dedicated to Prof. Irena Rzeplińska, entitled Why do we need criminology, which contained works of criminologists: established researchers and younger scientists from all national centres. The publication is not only a tribute to the lifelong academic work of Professor Rzeplińska, but also a valuable source of information on the dilemmas and challenges of contemporary criminology, academic research, methodology and its practical and legislative applications.
