Paranormal Criminology is the "seventh sense" of the scientific study of crime and criminal behavior. The number seven is the numerical signature for perfection. The rise in use of technology during terrorism, which is termed "para-terrorism" causes a new look at many of the old fields of study to measure the impact of paranormal and supernatural activity. Paranormal Criminology (PNC) is a part of the social sciences and is concerned with the affects and effects of paranormal and supernatural activity on crime and criminal behavior.

Criminology is a social science and is concerned with:

• The causes of crime,
• prevention of crime,
• the social impact of crime,
• reactions to crime, and
• the criminals themselves.

The term criminology was coined by Rafaele Garofalo, an Italian law professor, in 1885, as criminologia. The word criminology comes from the Latin, crimen, meaning "accusation" and the Greek for "logia".
