Kriminológiai

Kriminológiai is the Hungarian term for criminology. Criminology is the scientific study of crime, its causes, manifestations, and control. It is a multidisciplinary field that draws upon sociology, psychology, law, economics, and other disciplines to understand why individuals commit crimes and how societies respond to criminal behavior.

The field of criminology examines various aspects of crime, including the definition of crime, the patterns of criminal activity, the motivations behind criminal behavior, and the consequences of crime for individuals and society. Criminologists also study the effectiveness of different approaches to crime prevention and criminal justice, such as law enforcement, judicial processes, and correctional systems.

Key areas of focus within criminology include the study of criminal typologies, the development of theories of crime causation (e.g., biological, psychological, sociological), the analysis of victimology (the study of victims of crime), and the evaluation of criminal justice policies. The ultimate goal of criminology is to contribute to a better understanding of crime and to develop more effective strategies for reducing its incidence and impact. It seeks to provide evidence-based insights that can inform public policy and improve societal safety.
