Kriminologie-Lexikon is an extensive online resource dedicated to the field of criminology, serving as a collaborative initiative between the Chair of Criminology, Criminal Policy, and Police Science at Ruhr University Bochum and the Institute of Criminology at the University of Tübingen. Established to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the complexities of criminology, this lexicon encompasses a wide array of topics organized alphabetically, offering definitions, texts, and informative entries.

The platform features contributions dating back to 1991 from the original "Kriminologie-Lexikon" published by Kriminalistik Verlag Heidelberg, with certain entries marked to reflect their initial publication date, as the content has not been updated since 2015. Users can explore a wealth of information on criminal behavior, policies, and judicial processes, making it a valuable tool for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field. With its robust catalog, Kriminologie-Lexikon stands as a pivotal reference point in criminological studies and research.
