Correct answer: "why crime is committed."

Criminology chiefly examines the causes, patterns, and social context of criminal behavior. (Related but distinct areas: victimology studies victims’ reactions, criminal law/procedure covers trials and cases, and sociology of crime/community studies examine effects on communities.)
