Etymology

Criminologically comes from criminology 'the study of crime' plus the ending -ly that turns it into an adverb. So, to do something criminologically is to do it 'in a way that studies crime' or 'from the point of view of crime', which is why the word is used when talking about the study of criminals and crime.
