Overview
What’s the difference? While criminal justice studies the law enforcement system and operations, criminology focuses on the sociological and psychological behaviors of criminals to determine why they commit crimes. So, University of Northern Iowa’s Criminology and Criminal Justice program covers both sides of the system.
