Neither is better nor bad. Both options are available because they cater to different types of studies and career options. A BA in Criminology will help you gain skills related to social analysis. For example, you'll be able to determine why the crime was committed. Or, human behaviour, legal systems, etc.
A BSc in Criminology, on the other hand, will give you practical skills to find evidence from the crime scene, work in forensic labs, assist researchers, etc.

It's simple. Both are interrelated fields, but serve different purposes. Criminology reads criminals' psychology, analyzes crime patterns, and works on prevention.
Forensic Science, on the other hand, is all about collecting evidence from a crime scene, test them for new findings to help officials solve the case.

It's vast, to speak honestly. This field is not only emerging but also growing at a fast pace. You can join CBI, forensic labs, law firms, educational institutions, or other investigative agencies.
Criminology professionals are not only required in India but are highly-valued in other countries as well. If you upskill yourself in this field, there are high chances of you getting rich-paying jobs abroad, even in their government departments.
