Guilherme Godoy

Guilherme is based in Maceió, in the Northeast of Brazil. He has a Law degree from Brazil and a Master’s in Criminology from the University of Porto. Guilherme lived in Portugal between 2014 and 2017, for 3 years and 3 months. He went there to pursue his master’s degree, and during that time, he had the opportunity to present his work on panels at international criminology conferences, such as Eurocrim and the European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control. Guilherme’s research mainly focuses on drug regulation, and lately he’s been exploring its connection with restorative practices, as a form of informal social control and transitional justice. Guilherme works as a Law professor and conflict mediator and is currently taking a PhD course in Law (as a special student) in Brazil.
