Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.07,0:00:17.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One question that I get asked\Na lot is what criminology is.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.91,0:00:19.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Criminology is a scientific study

Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.08,0:00:26.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This asks questions such as,

Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.58,0:00:40.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and why do others not commit crime?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.80,0:00:45.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or why does crime happen at\Nsome places and not at others?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.15,0:00:47.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The causes of crime is without a doubt
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.40,0:00:50.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one of the most studied\Nareas in criminology.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.40,0:00:54.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another area of criminology\Nis the consequences of crime.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.45,0:00:57.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Crime affects a large\Nnumber of people, offenders,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.54,0:00:59.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the reasons why they commit crime
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.55,0:01:01.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,often receive the bulk of the attention.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.95,0:01:03.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But many more people are involved
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.78,0:01:05.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in one way or another.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.46,0:01:07.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course, the victims\Nof crime can experience
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.89,0:01:09.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a range of consequences,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.84,0:01:13.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,including potential injuries,\Npsychological consequences

Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.37,0:01:32.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another sub area is\Nthe reactions to crime.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.40,0:01:36.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This covers responses to\Ncrime by law enforcement.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.06,0:01:37.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, it covers the police
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.89,0:01:41.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how they handle crime,\Nthe practices that they use,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.16,0:01:42.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the decisions that they make

Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.34,0:01:46.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the way in which they treat offenders.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.92,0:01:48.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It also looks at the way
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.24,0:01:51.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in which courts sentence offenders,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.09,0:01:53.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how judges make decisions\Nand process cases,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.76,0:01:56.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and whether and how different offenders
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.04,0:01:57.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are treated in different ways.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.99,0:01:59.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And finally, this subfield
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.88,0:02:02.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,focuses on different types of punishment
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.01,0:02:04.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on what happens after imprisonment
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.56,0:02:07.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,such as when offenders are\Non parole or on probation.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.86,0:02:10.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And also on prison life,\Nlike on prison practices

Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.85,0:02:18.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And finally, criminology\Nconcerns the prevention of crime.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.39,0:02:22.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are many strategies that\Nare claimed to prevent crime
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.02,0:02:25.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and some of these may be\Neffective, but others may not.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.26,0:02:27.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, it requires good research
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.72,0:02:30.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to test out which programs are effective
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.54,0:02:32.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that we can invest in those
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.88,0:02:37.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and not invest in programs that\Ndo not work to reduce crime.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.71,0:02:39.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One thing that I've always found useful
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.66,0:02:44.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when defining criminology is\Nto see it as an object science.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.27,0:02:47.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The idea here is that there\Nare many different sciences
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.61,0:02:49.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that study crime.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.05,0:02:51.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, crime is the object of study
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.03,0:02:53.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,across those different sciences.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.61,0:02:55.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Criminology is very diverse
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.35,0:02:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because people look at crime
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.00,0:02:58.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from very different perspectives.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.68,0:03:01.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, lawyers, sociologists,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.74,0:03:04.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,economists, biologists, anthropologists,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.83,0:03:07.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,psychiatrists,\Npsychologists, philosophers,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.74,0:03:11.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,political scientists, and historians
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.07,0:03:13.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have all contributed to criminology.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.62,0:03:15.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But they all come from\Ntheir own background
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.66,0:03:18.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and have different views\Non crime, on methods.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.66,0:03:20.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and theoretical perspectives.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.85,0:03:24.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some people think that that\Ncreates problems for criminology
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.18,0:03:26.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's very difficult to create
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.07,0:03:28.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a sort of integrative framework.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.41,0:03:31.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But others think and I feel that way too,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.05,0:03:33.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that it makes criminology so interesting
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.18,0:03:35.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's so multidisciplinary.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.73,0:03:37.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here are a couple of examples
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.32,0:03:40.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of how different\Ndisciplines look at crime.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.47,0:03:42.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When looking a crime\Nfrom a law perspective,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.93,0:03:45.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it deals more normatively\Nwith the conditions
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.78,0:03:48.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,under which punishment may be imposed.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.63,0:03:51.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sociology is about groups\Nand social relationships
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.96,0:03:55.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how crime happens\Nwithin these relationships,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.05,0:03:57.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for example, in youth groups and gangs.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.96,0:04:01.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Psychology is all about human\Nbehavior and experiences.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.74,0:04:06.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Biology about the natural\Nbasic conditions of life,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.36,0:04:08.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And economics looks, for example,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.07,0:04:11.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the costs and benefits\Nof criminal behavior.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.49,0:04:13.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And history deals with questions like
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.50,0:04:16.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how is the course of crime\Nover the past centuries?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.77,0:04:19.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How do people deal with\Noffenses in the past?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.11,0:04:20.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And have there been any changes
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.76,0:04:23.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in what is considered to be a crime?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.67,0:04:25.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, all of these disciplines
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.05,0:04:27.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,offer their own unique lens on crime,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.60,0:04:29.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that is what makes criminology
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.49,0:04:31.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so incredibly interesting.
