Christian Grafl
Christian Grafl studied law in Vienna and completed his habilitation in criminology and criminalistics at the University of Vienna with a thesis on the comparability of Latin and printed texts. His research and teaching activities include both empirical criminology and (scientific) criminology. Not least because of his work as a sworn and court-certified expert in criminology, document examination and writing, the combination of practice and science was and is a particular concern of his. The Hans Gross Center for Interdisciplinary Criminal Sciences (ZiK) offers an excellent platform for the interdisciplinary cooperation of all forensically relevant fields of work that he values and promotes.
