Anthropological Criminology is the anthropological study of crime in the human species. It includes profiling, phrenology and some really strange ideas that the structure of someone's face can tell you whether they'll be a criminal and even what types of crime they'd commit.
Criminal anthropology is a field that studies the physical characteristics and traits of individuals to determine their predisposition to criminal behavior. It seeks to understand the relationship between biology and criminal tendencies, but it does not focus solely on the study of criminal human beings.

Criminal physical anthropology is a field of study that examines biological and physical characteristics of individuals involved in criminal behavior, with a focus on understanding the relationship between genetics, anatomy, and criminality. This field explores how factors such as brain structure, hormones, and genetics may influence criminal tendencies or behaviors.
