Criminology is a science. It is a discipline that studies crime and criminal behavior.
The scientific evaluation of physical evidence describes the field of criminalistics. Our goal is to stay on topic and focus on the field of criminology.
Analyzing the phenomena of crime and criminality, performing scientifically accurate studies and developing theorectical explanations of crime and criminal behavior is the study of criminology.
Criminology is the way you began to classify criminal activities and criminal types.
Crimes change over time because as a race we advance and change the ways we operate and do business amongst other things. Therefore, the criminal also changes and adapt. New laws are made to say what they are doing is wrong. In fact the crimes for the most part are just evolving. They are replicas of past type crimes. For example, you have people that rob banks. We call them bank robbers. Cybercriminals commit electronic robberies.
