Abstract
In present study, I proposed the science discipline, network criminology. Network criminology roots in criminology and network science, which focuses on network analysis of criminal networks. It uses the theory and methodology of network science to analyze, predict and control criminal patterns and behavior. The criminal network refers to a criminal group, a terrorism network, etc. Network criminology aims to understand topological structure, organization, function, identification, and control, etc., of criminal networks. Meanwhile, I defined the aims, scope, theory and methodology of network criminology.

Keywords network criminology;criminal networks;scientific discipline.
