Sociology and Criminology are closely linked. Sociology is the study of social life and the way it is constituted by orderliness and organisation and by the way it is created and re-created by people acting together. Criminology is the study of a subset of orderliness and organisation that produces the idea of crime and deviance, along with associated matters such as what particular activities are labelled crime, when are individuals regarded as criminals, and how are the resulting 'crimes' and 'criminals' dealt with by organisations like police forces and courts.
