Criminologists study the methods of responding to crime, whether through changes in policing strategies or through the development of crime-prevention programs. Changes to laws and the way they are interpreted affect the way people behave. Along with these elements, criminologists pay close attention to how this effects society and how law enforcement and other agents of social control respond to and deal with this behaviour.
