BSc (Hons) Criminology in Salford United Kingdom | University of Salford

Criminology examines how certain behaviors are classified as criminal and who holds the authority to determine what counts as a crime. The field is often misunderstood and mistakenly associated with disciplines like forensic science. While criminology does study criminal activity, its primary emphasis lies in investigating the root causes of crime and deviant behavior, their societal impacts, and the criminal justice system's response—rather than focusing on crime scene examination, forensic techniques, or investigative procedures.
