Criminology

Criminology (from Latin crÄ«men, "accusation", and Ancient Greek -λογία, -logy|-logia, from "logos" meaning: "word," "reason," or "plan") is the study of crime and deviant behavior.Criminology is an interdisciplinary field in both the behavioural and social sciences, which draws primarily upon the research of sociologists, psychologists, philosophers, psychiatrists, biologists, social anthropologists, as well as scholars of law.The term criminology was coined in 1885 by Italian law professor RaffaeleGarofalo as Criminologia . Later, French anthropologist Paul Topinard used the analogous French term Criminologie .Paul Topinard's major work appeared in 1879. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the emphasis of criminology was on the reform of criminal law and not on the causes of crime. Scholars such as Beccaria and Bentham, were more concerned with the humanitarian aspects in dealing with criminals and reforming several criminal laws. Great progress in criminology was made after the first quarter of the twentieth century. The first American textbook on criminology was written in 1920 by sociologist Maurice Parmalee under the title Criminology. Programmes were developed for the specific purpose of training students to be criminologists, but the development was rather slow.From 1900 through to 2000 the study underwent three significant phases in the United States: Golden Age of Research (1900-1930)-which has been described as a multiple-factor approach.
