- Criminology evolved from disparate interests into a recognized field, drawing from disciplines like sociology, psychology, and law.
- Criminology isn't a single theoretical framework, featuring various perspectives.
- Common misconceptions include the belief that criminologists investigate crime directly.

The Nature of Harm and Criminal Justice:

Zemiology:
- Zemiology suggests a focus on social harm, encompassing a wider understanding of harm.
- Challenges traditional definitions of crime to include broader issues of harm.
Ontological Reality of Crime:
- Criminology needs to consider the constructed nature of crime and that it does not inherently exist.
