Criminology
Criminology comprises the body of knowledge dealing with the causes and consequences of crime as a social phenomenon. Criminology also involves study of criminal behavior, and the impact of laws on human behavior (and vice versa). Though both deal with crime, criminology differs from criminal justice in that criminal justice focuses on the components of the justice system including police, courts, and corrections.
