  Behavioural sciences - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Behavioural sciences (or Behavioral science) is a term that encompasses all the disciplines that explore the activities of and interactions among organisms in the natural world.
Neural-Decision sciences form the bridge between the behavioural sciences and Cognitive and natural sciences through creating theories that account for the interaction of bio-physical systems and cognitive processes in decision making of the organism.
Thus behavioural sciences lies at the crossroads between the natural sciences and the social sciences, linking broad areas of scientific exploration.

 'Behavioural science' and firearms:
Zimring and Hawkins are no social theorists, however; and they determinedly limit themselves to working within the paradigms of American behavioural science.
In the end, Zimring and Hawkins are altogether agnostic on the relationship between gun violence and the drugs trade, and therefore also agnostic of the question of legalization of drugs.
That evidence overwhelmingly suggests that the taken-for-granted right to bear arms itself-the Second Amendment of the American Constitution-is an originating source of the unparalleled levels of lethal violence on which this text reports, and which determines to treat the banning of such weapons as a natural experiment in community safety.
