The study of prison management and criminal rehabilitation is called:

  • (A) Criminal sciences
  • (B) Penology
  • (C) Social sciences
  • (D) Criminology
  • Penology is the branch of criminology that focuses on the administration of prisons, the theories that govern them, and the attempts at rehabilitation for those who have committed offenses. Originating from the Latin word "poena," which is punishment, it encompasses the ideologies and methods that societies employ to limit crime through effective management of those who have committed crimes. Modern penology focuses on the design of prisons that not only confine individuals but also train them to reintegrate into society.
  • Criminal Sciences: The study of crime, the behavior that leads to it, and the methods of detection and prevention.
  • Penology: The study of punishment, managing prisons, and rehabilitating those who break the law.
  • Social Sciences: A group of studies that investigate human society and social relationships, such as sociology, economics, and politics.
  • Criminology: The scientific study of crime, those who commit it, why it occurs, and how it can be prevented. While penology is a sub-branch of criminology, the term criminology itself refers more broadly to the scientific study of the nature, causes, and prevention of criminal behavior as a whole.
