Criminology is a social science, and invites us to study crime and criminal behaviour in an analytical way. We explore a range of criminological theories to help explain why people commit crimes, and assess policies designed to reduce crime. We examine the process of criminal investigations, the prosecution of suspects and consider how and why criminals are punished. We also study the criminal justice system in Britain, and understand the role that different agencies play in tackling the problem of crime.
