    ORIGIN OF THE WORD CRIMINOLOGY

    2. DEFINITION OF CRIMINOLOGY

    Criminology is the body of knowledge regarding delinquency and crime as social phenomena. It includes
    within its scope the process of making laws, of breaking laws, and of reacting towards the breaking of
    laws.

    Certain acts that are considered undesirable are defined by the political society as crimes. In spite of this
    definition some people persist in the behaviour and thus commit crimes; the political society reacts by
    punishment, treatment, or prevention. This sequence of interactions is the subject matter of
    criminology.

    Criminology (from Latin crīmen, "accusation"; and Greek -λογία, -logia) is the
    scientific study of the nature, extent, causes, and control of criminal behaviour in
    both the individual and in society. Criminology is an interdisciplinary field in the
    behavioural sciences, drawing especially upon the research of sociologists
    (particularly in the sociology of deviance), psychologists and psychiatrists, social
    anthropologists as well as on writings in law.
    (Crime is from the Latin word “crimen” meaning accusation or fault.)

    Areas of research in criminology include the incidence, forms, causes and consequences
    of crime, as well as social and governmental regulations and reaction to crime. For
    studying the distribution and causes of crime, criminology mainly relies upon quantitative
    methods. The term criminology was coined in 1885 by Italian law professor Raffaele
    Garofalo as criminologia. Later, French anthropologist Paul Topinard used the analogous
    French term criminology.
