Özet

Sociological criminology emerged in the early 20th century as a departure from traditional psychological and biological theories of crime, shifting its focus to social-structural and ecological factors that influence criminal behaviour. This study fills a gap in criminological literature by examining the development and impact of sociological criminology in the early 20th century. Hence, the prime intention of this study was to uncover the emergence and influence of sociological criminology during this specific time. Using the Narrative Literature Review method, this study identified the factors that caused the emergence of sociological criminology in the early 20th century and examined the repercussions. The conclusion section of the research study explains the various ways in which sociological criminology has contributed to the development of modern criminology.
