Criminology is the scientific approach to studying criminal behavior. It explains the etiology, extent and nature of crime in society. Criminal justice refers to the study of the agencies of social control—police, courts and corrections. Criminology is more focused on identifying the suspected cause of crime while criminal justice scholars focus on identifying the effective methods of crime control.
