criminology is concerned with understanding crime, deviance, and institutions of criminal justice. Criminologists seek to answer questions like: why are some people more likely to commit or be victims of crime than others; how can crime be effectively prevented or controlled; and from a more critical perspective, how do particular activities become defined as €œcriminal€ in the first place and what does this tell us about the nature of power and authority in society?
