Criminology is the interdisciplinary study of crime, criminal behaviour, and the criminal justice system. It explores the causes, patterns, and consequences of crime, drawing upon insights from sociology, psychology, law, and other disciplines. Criminologists analyse the factors influencing criminal behaviour, including social, economic, and psychological factors. The field aims to understand crime prevention strategies, rehabilitation methods, and the effectiveness of law enforcement practices. Ultimately, criminology contributes to the development of evidence-based policies and interventions to address crime and enhance public safety.
