Introduction

Criminology has a Latin root word, meaning view, accusation or crime. Criminology is the systematic study of crime and criminals. As two famous criminologists, Edwin Sutherland and Donald Cressey, said, criminology includes the processes of law, violate the laws, and react to breaking the law. This has very clear definition of a good debate and diversity in the field of criminology, there is a combined discipline (Clarke, 2004, 55). Criminology is a multidisciplinary science which bases its foundations in knowledge within the sociology, psychology and social anthropology, taking to this conceptual framework that defines the criminal law. Criminology examines the causes of crime and recommends remedies antisocial behaviour of man. Criminological research areas include the incidence and forms of crime and its causes and consequences. They also collect social reactions and government regulations on the crime (Clarke, 2004, 59).

It represents a coherent and logical system of high importance in the implementation and use of preventive mechanisms for the study of the criminal matter. The emphasis in the current IFIC client community, the role that science plays in this re-evaluation and redefinition of social control both formal and informal places it as a science that is relevant at both the legal and social (Siegel 2003, p. 7).

The establishment of unemployment appears to have reduced flights necessary. The graph does not show growth during the Great Depression of 1929-1934 (the 1934 increase is due to the increase in crimes of assault and battery and carrying weapons). Many other movements of legal crime are the result of legal changes, limited to the social reaction (Presdee 2000, p.45). Amnesty laws, collective action of grace, changing courts to try certain offenses account for declines in the first sometimes increases and sometimes decreases for the latter. We see the effect, slightly delayed due to the repression of anarchist bombings following years, the law of 1891 on the stay, which reduced the proportion of convictions sustainable farms.
