 | | Criminology is a sub-field of sociology (The study and classification of human societies) dealing with matters related to crime ((criminal law) an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act) and criminal behavior. | | | This is an area where caution is warranted; if one is comparing, e.g., violent crimes between nations, one must be careful that the actions counted in that category are similar for each nation; otherwise the comparison is meaningless. | | | List of criminology topics (additional info and facts about List of criminology topics) |

| | Welcome to Criminology |
| | Criminology is a field of critical interdisciplinary inquiry which focuses on the analysis of crime, criminality, social control and regulation, and the criminal justice system. | | | While each core course focuses on a specific area or topic central to criminology, an underlying analysis of how crime, criminality, and the criminal justice system have been constructed, represented and administered legally, politically, economically and culturally provides students with a coherent and developmental thread that runs throughout the core. | | | The list of program courses is made up of courses offered by various academic units, each of which has been selected because its content addresses topics, issues and concerns relevant to criminology. |
