The existence and importance of criminology as a science is undeniable. A key feature of this discipline is that it is not the result of contemporary research, but it has a very old existence, in terms of its research subject namely the discovery of causality of the murders. When we talk about the history of criminology, we must bring into question the concerns of our ancestors in this matter even before Current Era. Criminology leaped over time, continuing to exist in the present and showing major signs that will evolve in the future as spectacular as before.
