Derived from the Latin word crīmen which is translated to “accusation”, and the Greek word -λογία, -logia, meaning “reason”, the term criminology was first coined in 1885 by Italian law professor Raffaele GA RO FA LO as criminologia. Often described as an interdisciplinary “field” rather than a discipline, criminology is the scientific study of the nature, causes, consequences and prevention of criminal behaviour at the individual, group, and societal levels. Criminology transverses not only disciplinary boundaries, but also geographical, ideological and political ones, making it a truly interdisciplinary field of study dedicated to research on social issues from a multidimensional perspective.
It’s with that in mind that we introduce you to Criminologia, an academic, criminology-themed podcast hosted by us, Daniel Konikoff and Jona Zyfi, two PhD students at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies, . The series aims to facilitate critical dialogue and present theoretical ideas, empirical research findings, and policy solutions not only to social science scholars, but also criminal justice practitioners and the general public. Hosting leading academics, as well as graduate students, episodes will cover a range of contemporary issues related to criminology such as crime, rights and justice, the criminal justice system, organized crime and terrorism, immigration, as well as law and society. Subscribe to Criminologia now to keep up with the latest word from the field, and stay tuned for our first episode featuring University of Toronto Professor Emerita Rosemary Gartner.
