SECTION A
1.1. Provide a comprehensive discussion on the goals of research in
criminological sciences. (15)
In criminological sciences, research plays a pivotal role in advancing
knowledge, informing policy, and improving practices related to crime,
justice, and social responses. The goals of research in this field are diverse
and can be broadly categorized into several key objectives:
1. Understanding Crime and Criminal Behavior
• Descriptive Goals: Research aims to describe the nature, extent,
and patterns of criminal behavior. This includes studying different
types of crimes, offender characteristics, victimology, and the
contexts in which crimes occur.
• Explanatory Goals: Criminological research seeks to explain why
crime occurs. This involves examining the psychological, biological,
sociological, and environmental factors that influence criminal
behavior. Theories of crime causation, such as strain theory, social
learning theory, and routine activities theory, are often tested and
refined through empirical studies.
2. Evaluating the Effectiveness of Criminal Justice Policies and
Practices
