Criminology

By Timothy Roufa Updated July 28, 2018
Criminology is the study of the law enforcement and criminal justice system. A person looking for a career in criminal justice will very likely first seek to earn a criminology degree. While criminal justice and criminology are certainly related fields, they are not identical. 

Etymology of Criminology
“Criminology” is derived from the Latin crimen, which means accusation, and the transliterated Greek logia, which has come to denote “the study of,” therefore the study of crime.

What Is Criminology?
Criminology is a branch of sociology and has, in effect, been studied in one way or another for thousands of years. Despite its long history, it has only been relatively recently that criminology has been recognized as a scientific discipline in its own right.

BACHELOR OF  SCIENCE  OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

A Bachelor of Information Technology (abbreviations BIT, BInfTech, B.Tech(IT) or BE(IT)) is an undergraduate academic degree that generally requires three to five years of study. While the degree has a major focus on computers and technology, it differs from a Computer Science degree in that students are also expected to study management and information science, and there are reduced requirements for mathematics. A degree in computer science can be expected to concentrate on the scientific aspects of computing, while a degree in information technology can be expected to concentrate on the business and communication applications of computing. There is more emphasis on these two areas in the e-commerce, e-business and business information technology undergraduate courses. Specific names for the degrees vary across countries, and even universities within countries.
