This volume introduces important issues in the definition of "crime" and looks at the composition of legal, historical, ethical and social crimes.

Criminal science is defined as a scientific method of studying crime and its behavior (1), but the more classical criminal definition described by Edwin Sutherland and Donald Cressey is a collection of knowledge about crimes as a social crime is.

By definition, criminal science is a scientific study of crime as a social phenomenon, including criminals and criminal treatment. Origin of criminal origin was rooted in the 18th century when society believed that crime was the result of supernatural power. This devil's opinion supports the idea that temptation stimulates individual bad power (Cullen & Agnew, 2011, p. 21). Once possessed, people are deceived by sinful behavior. - Criminology developed into an academic discipline independent of history, developed together with methods developed and developed from multiple sources of information in academic disciplines, became the integration of various theories. The reason for explaining crime and deviant behavior reflects the time of the study and as time goes on, more theories are expected to incorporate the theory of the past into a more comprehensive theory.

Criminal science is often called crime and research of that criminal. However, many people are discussing the definition of crime itself. Like legal definitions, crime is defined as a criminal offense (Paul Tappan), or a definition of crime, such as statistical definition. If the frequency of action is low, that action is considered a crime (proposed by LT Wilkins) (Muncie J 1996). ) Leaving the fact that the crime itself is not clear. - Please try to imagine. You are in the crime scene. The air is cold and dry as if it were in a locker or laboratory. The room was clean and tidy, everything had a well planned place. The quietly placed and dressed victims are in the middle of the room. There are no obvious signs of wounds and struggles, but traces of towing can be seen. One of them will be pulled over the carpet.
