Criminal law and criminology are complementary disciplines. Criminal law provides the framework for enforcing society's norms and values, while criminology provides insights into the root causes of crime and how to prevent it. Let's understand the key difference between Criminal Law and Criminology, in brief:
| Characteristic | Criminal Law | Criminology |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Criminal law is the body of law that deals with crimes and their punishment. It is concerned with the protection of society from harmful individuals and conduct. Criminal law is enforced by the state through the police and the courts. | Criminology is the scientific study of crime. Criminologists are interested in understanding the causes and consequences of crime, as well as developing strategies for crime prevention and rehabilitation. |
| Disciplines | Law, sociology, psychology | Sociology, psychology, criminal justice, economics |
| Methods | Case studies, legal analysis | Surveys, interviews, statistical analysis |
| Goals | To deter crime and punish criminals | To develop strategies for crime prevention and rehabilitation |
| Examples | A Criminal Lawyer might represent a client accused of murder in court. | A Criminologist might study the relationship between poverty and crime in a community. |

Hello Simar!
No you cannot pursue your career in Doon University for criminology as the university does not offer any related course for criminology.
If you want to pursue a course in criminology you should search outside Uttrakhand. There are many colleges offering the course like, B.A. (Hons.) in Legal Studies at Jindal Global Law School in Sonepat. Most of the colleges offering the course are in South India.
I hope it will help. You can reach out to us for further queries.
Thank You.
