Criminologists direct their interest at questions related to the structure and extent of crime, its variations over time and place and the measures that may reduce crime and increase levels of public safety. Another important area of research for criminologists look at is the question of why certain types of deviant behaviour are criminalised and lead to penal sanctions.
