What is criminology

Answer 1

Criminology is the study of crime and deviant behavior. It is an interdisciplinary field in both the behavioral and social sciences, which draws primarily upon the research of sociologists. The goal of criminology is to determine the root causes of criminal behavior and to develop effective and humane means for addressing and preventing it. Criminology is related to but not identical to the field of criminal justice.
