Public health and criminology share similar current and future challenges, mostly related to crime and health causation, prevention, and sustainable development. Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches to education at the intersection of public health and criminology can be an integral part of future training in areas of mutual interest. Based on reflections on teaching criminology students, this viewpoint discusses the main interconnections between public health and criminology teaching through the public health lens. The paper discusses potential challenges associated with interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity. Among these challenges is communication across the different fields and their perspectives to be able to achieve the desired complementarity at the intersection of the two disciplines.
公共卫生和犯罪学面临着相似的当前和未来挑战,这些挑战主要与犯罪和健康的因果关系、预防以及可持续发展有关。在公共卫生和犯罪学交叉点的跨学科和超学科教育方法可以成为未来共同感兴趣领域培训的一个组成部分。本文基于对犯罪学学生教学的反思,从公共卫生的角度讨论了公共卫生和犯罪学教学之间的主要相互联系。本文讨论了跨学科和超学科所面临的潜在挑战。其中的挑战包括在不同领域及其观点之间进行沟通,以在两个学科的交叉点实现预期的互补性。
