Abstract

Sociological and criminological literature is replete with investigations concerning three principal divisions: (a) the sociology of law, which is an attempt at scientific analysis of the conditions under which criminal laws develop? (b) criminal etiology, which is an attempt at scientific analysis of the causes of crime; and (c) penology and corrections, which is concerned with the control of crime.
