Arno Akkermans is directeur van het Amsterdam Law and Behavior Institue (A-LAB) en programmaleider van het Amsterdam Centre for Comprehensive Law (ACCL). In A-LAB bundelen diverse faculteiten van de Vrije Universiteit en het Nederlands Studiecentrum Criminaliteit en Rechtshandhaving (NSCR) hun krachten bij het doen van interdisciplinair onderzoek op het terrein van gedrag en recht. Het ACCL is een van de onderzoekscentra van A-LAB. In het ACCL werken multidisciplinaire onderzoeksgroepen aan empirisch-juridisch onderzoek. De doelstelling van het ACCL is om met wetenschappelijk onderzoek bij te dragen aan verbetering van de mate waarin het juridische systeem tegemoet komt aan een breder spectrum aan menselijke behoeften en motivaties dan waar recht en de juridische discipline traditioneel op zijn gericht, zoals bijvoorbeeld rechtvaardigheid, erkenning, zingeving, betrokkenheid, zeggenschap, herstel, excuses en vergeving.
Arno Akkermans is director of the Amsterdam Law and Behavior Institute (A-LAB) and of the Amsterdam Centre for Comprehensive Law (ACCL). Within A-LAB several faculties of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the Netherlands Insitute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR) join forces in conducting interdisciplinary research in the field of law and behavior. The ACCL is one of the research centres of A-LAB. The ACCL is pioneering a variety of innovative empirical-legal research methods and is experimenting with the way legal research is oriented and organized. The ACCL stands for a more comprehensive approach to the function, the effects and the meaning of law and legal procedures for those who resort to the legal system. Its mission is to contribute with its research to the improvement of the performance of the legal system in meeting a wider spectrum of human needs and motivations than traditionally are the focus of law and the legal discipline, such as justice, acknowledgement, validation, involvement, ‘voice’, restoration, apology and forgiveness.
