Why is it important to know the differences between criminal justice and criminology?
What will be an ideal response?
It is important to know the difference because though they discuss a lot of the same themes and issues the focus of the two disciplines are different. Criminal Justice focuses on the system. It focuses on what to do when someone commits a crime and needs to be punished. Criminology focuses on why a person would commit a crime. These are important subjects to study independent of each other and together so that way a learner can have a full understanding of criminology and interplay with the criminal justice system.
