The Sociology of Criminology and Deviance is a field of sociology that emerged in the mid-nineteenth century at the hands of a group of criminologists, such as Enrico Ferri, Ferri, Catelli, La Cassani, and Geri. This field studies crime and deviance from a social perspective, meaning it focuses on clarifying the relationship between the phenomenon of crime and social conditions.
