Criminology is the scientific study of crime, criminal behavior, and the systems established to prevent and respond to crime. Rooted in the interplay of sociology, psychology, law, and ethics, criminology seeks to understand the causes, consequences, and control of criminal activity. It examines the social, cultural, and economic factors influencing criminal behavior while also exploring strategies for justice, rehabilitation, and societal protection.
This discipline is driven by the goal of fostering safer communities, reducing harm, and promoting equitable justice systems. By analyzing patterns of crime and assessing policies, criminology empowers societies to address the root causes of criminality and ensure justice for victims, offenders, and the community at large.
