Criminology
Criminology is the scientific study of crime, criminal behaviour and the societal responses to such phenomena.
It explores the motivations behind criminal behaviour, often distinguishing between individual, situational and systemic factors. Classical criminology, grounded in rational choice theory, posits that individuals commit crimes based on a cost-benefit analysis. In contrast, positivist criminology emphasises the role of biological, psychological and social determinants in shaping behaviour. More recent approaches, such as critical criminology, question power dynamics, structural inequality, and the influence of societal norms on defining and addressing crime.
Criminology is deeply interconnected with justice systems, informing practices in policing, corrections and rehabilitation. It addresses questions of fairness, efficacy, and the social impact of punitive versus restorative approaches to justice.
