Introduction to Criminology
Criminology is the scientific study of crime, criminal behavior, and the social and institutional responses to crime. It is a multidisciplinary field that draws on insights from sociology, psychology, law, anthropology, and other disciplines to understand the causes, patterns, and consequences of criminal behavior. The primary goal of criminology is to gain knowledge about crime and the criminal justice system to develop effective strategies for crime prevention, control, and rehabilitation.
