Criminologists are concerned with identifying the nature, extent, and cause of crime. - Criminology is an interdisciplinary discipline that gathers and analyzes data on various aspects of criminal, delinquent, and general anti-social behavior. SOCIOLOGICAL CRIMINOLOGY – the study of crime focused on the group of people and society as a whole. It is primarily based on the examination of the relationship of demographic and group variables to crime. Variables such as socioeconomic status, interpersonal relationships, age, race, gender, and cultural groups of people are probed in relation to the environmental factors that are most conducive to criminal action, such as time, place, and circumstances surrounding the crime.

Finally, Sutherland suggested in his definition of criminology that this study must also give attention to the proper punishment or penalty to prevent and repress crime and criminal behavior.
