The idea behind public criminology is to spread knowledge of crime and research done by criminologists beyond the community of criminology to the general public. This term is used by Christober Uggen and Michelle Inderbitzen to call criminologists to focus on providing information understandable to the general public, as well as to help inform crime policy and law makers. The concept draws on Michael Burawoy's "public sociology" which grants the same concept but in reference to sociology.
