Summary/Abstract: This article presents a variety of literature related to the vast field of criminology and more particularly to its epistemology. The content is focused on the emergence of this discipline, while tracing the path to its scientific aspect. This work, based on the history of criminology, aims to synthesise the scientific debates between criminologists from different schools. The latter raises two main points: the chronological order of the names proposed by "criminology", in particular the preliminary idea relating to "criminal anthropology", and the scientific trend, which underlines the origin of criminology, which has become a scientific discipline to date.
