  • Criminology

    Open AccessBrown, Stephen E BrownOTHERThe Blackwell Encyclopedia of…2017References: 2

    Criminology is the study of crime and related phenomena. A common starting point in defining criminology is to cite Edwin Sutherland's tripartite definition of it as an examination of the process of creating laws, violation of laws, and reacting to those violations. While this is a relatively broad definition, it is not all encompassing. Moreover, while Sutherland's status in the field of criminology was enormous, his definition of the bounds of …
