A criminologist is a person who studies crime in a careful, scientific way. They are not usually the ones chasing thieves down the street. They ask why people break the law, how police and courts work, who is most often punished, and what might actually reduce crime. Some teach in universities. Some advise governments or work with prisons. The word sits next to criminal, though actually a criminologist is not a criminal, and is not the same as a police officer, a judge, or a lawyer. The subject they work in is criminology; this word names the person, not the subject.
犯罪學家
組成From criminology + -ist. Criminology is criminal + -logy (from Greek logos, “study” or “word”). -ist is a person who does that work, a path that came into English through French and Latin from Greek. So: a person who does the study of crime.
