Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the Progressive Era, there was a growing interest in social reform and the study of society, which led to the emergence of sociology as the primary disciplinary home of criminology. Criminologists began to examine the social and economic factors that contributed to crime, as well as the effectiveness of different forms of punishment and rehabilitation. While biology and psychology may also play a role in understanding criminal behavior, sociology became the dominant discipline in the study of crime and justice during this time period.
