What are the key aims of criminological research?

Criminological research is the study of science, using a specially-developed methods and techniques for a variety of social, legal, moral, social, psychological and other factors having positive or negative impact on crime. It identifies the identity of the offender and prevents the crime (Siegel, 2012, pp. 270-284).

The main objectives of criminological research are:

Deep knowledge of the factors influencing crime along with their interrelationships and patterns of manifestation;

Study of proposals that would reduce the negative and increase the positive impact of these factors on the crime situation in the country;

Implementation of a concrete analysis of criminological situation in the country, some regions and territories for certain time periods;

Identification of the most criminalized sectors of public life, especially socially dangerous types of crime in them, activation of law enforcement through the development and implementation of federal regional integrated program to combat crime;

Analytical support as a result of operational research specific tasks prevention of certain types of crime through law enforcement special preventive operations.

The above objectives and define the main areas of criminological research. Most significantly, criminological research has an objective to obtain the deep knowledge and assessment of crime in general. This objective is primarily due to the complication of the most crime, the relationship of its species and the diversity of inherent laws (Siegel, 2012, pp. 270-284).

Criminological research also focused on improving the methodology and methods of analysis, evaluation, prediction of crime and the individual criminal behaviour. As a result of these studies are also solved practical problems the most effective measures to prevent offenses, the different types of crimes, individual criminal behaviour (Siegel, 2009, pp. 91-110).

Briefly describe the process of conceptualisation and, using a criminological example, explain why this is a crucial part of the research process.

Conceptualization is the process of creating concepts on the basis of general knowledge about the world by fixing the problems, and the definition of the word. Conceptualization is identified as the procedure of specification of what is the meaning of the term. In the deductive approach of research conceptualisation assists in the translation of the abstract theory in the testable hypothesis with the involvement of particular variable. Without conceptualisation the criminological research would not be complete and less efficient (Siegel, 2012, pp. 270-284).

Conceptualisation - Crucial Part of Research Process

No fact or phenomenon can be addressed without adequate conceptualization. If the research does not have any idea about the conceptualisation he would study in a vacuum. With conceptualisation the researcher is able to assume and establish disciplines or subject areas that address the problem situation in order to advance the process of putting it in connection with the relevant conceptual developments from the point of view of interest to the researcher (Siegel, 2009, pp. 91-110).

This process will build that object and locating the problematic situation in the system and the alleged problems themselves and others. The theoretical framework, also called framework or conceptual framework, the latter is more limited, ...
