Criminology focuses on understanding the causes, patterns, and impacts of crime through theories drawn from sociology, psychology, economics, and law, while Criminal Justice emphasizes the practical systems and institutions—such as policing, courts, and corrections—that enforce laws and administer justice. Together, the field explores how laws are created, how crimes are prevented and punished, and how justice policies affect individuals and communities, with the goal of promoting public safety, fairness, and effective reform.
