Ana Maria Rodriguez Tirado

Ana Maria Rodriguez Tirado serves as Professor in the Department of Public International Law, Criminal Law and Procedural Law at Universidad de Cádiz, actively contributing to the Instituto Andaluz Interuniversitario de Criminología (IAIC) and leading research group SEJ287 IURISDICTIO. Her scholarly work bridges legal theory and social vulnerability through rigorous analysis of procedural systems.

Research Focus: Her expertise centers on criminal procedure reforms (particularly Article 324 LECrim implementation), vulnerable victim protection (specializing in minors subjected to sexual violence), and housing law concerning eviction processes for economically disadvantaged tenants. She pioneers university mediation frameworks while critically examining restorative justice applications within Spain's legal structure.

Analysis of her 2021-2025 publications reveals three dominant trajectories: (1) Criminal procedure adaptations for vulnerable populations using Brasilia Rules frameworks, (2) Housing law intersections with social emergency protocols following Spain's Housing Rights Law, and (3) Victim autonomy preservation through pre-recorded testimony and mediation prohibitions in sexual violence cases. Her work consistently addresses systemic gaps in protecting minors and economically marginalized groups.
