	Crime science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crime science is the study of crime in order to find ways to prevent, detect and solve crimes ethically and with regard to the broader social implications of interventions.
		Three features distinguish crime science from criminology: it embraces the physical, computer and engineering sciences as well as the social; it focuses on crime rather than criminals, and it is single-minded about cutting crime, rather than studying it for its own sake.
		Crime science was conceived by the British broadcaster Nick Ross in the late 1990s in order to recruit scientific methods to crime prevention, with encouragement from the then Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Sir John Stevens and Professor Ken Pease.

	Molecular Manufacturing and the Need for Crime Science \| Nanovip.com
		Early policing stressed that the principal duty of police was to prevent crime rather than detect it.[2] Crime science focuses on using science in creative and unprecedented ways to prevent crime.
		Crime science acknowledges habitual offenders and studies ways to prevent their crimes (as well as identifying those who should be fully prosecuted because of recidivist behavior).
		The second premise in crime science is that crime occurs where there is opportunity, and that opportunity itself can be a cause of crime.

	International Crime Science Network
		Science can contribute to crime control through improved understanding of patterns of crime and disorder events and through the better design of goods, physical environments, services, management practices, legislation and regulation.
		Also, although the broad techniques of situational crime prevention are by now quite well-established by social scientists, their practical application often calls for the skills of a range of experts including information technologists, engineers of various sorts, geneticists and chemists.
		Crime science thus involves adopting an inter-disciplinary approach, which emphasises the application of scientific methods in crime control.

	Crime statistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crime statistics attempt to provide a statistical measure of the level, or amount, of crime that is prevalent in societies.
		There are many forms of measuring crime, including household surveys or checking hospital or insurance records, but the term "crime statistic" usually refers to figures compiled by the Police and similar law enforcement agencies.
		Crime statistics are gathered and reported by many countries and are of interest to several international organisations, including Interpol and the United Nations.

	Frequently Asked Questions
		No. A strong science background is required for admission to the Forensic Science Masters program (as well as future employment in a crime laboratory), and an applicant's degree must be in a biological, natural, or physical science.
		Usually the crime scene component of the job of a forensic scientist is a relatively minor part of the duties.
		Crime scene investigators or technicians are people who are trained to secure crime scenes and then search for, collect and preserve physical evidence.

	Lesson: Nature of Science mini-lesson: Crime Scene
		A simulated crime scene is presented for teams of students to solve, using clues received piecemeal, adjusting hypotheses as more clues are found and discussed.
		An aspect of science not often presented is its capability of revealing events of the past, based on an analysis of clues found in the present.
		These are not traditionally "experimental" sciences, as such, in which events are repeatable, but, as crime scene simulations reveal, this brand of science is every bit as useful for understanding the natural world.

		Crime Science is about systematically analysing crime patterns and planning ahead to reduce temptation and opportunity.
		Crime Science is strongly evidence-based, in the tradition of the physical sciences, but recruits the best of many disciplines including geography, design, chemistry, engineering, economics, architecture, town planning, computer science, psychology and epidemiology, along with criminology.
		Crime science demands systematic problem analysis (the Jill Dando Institute trains police crime analysts) and incorporates the lessons from other fields to reduce motives and opportunities for crime, through product design, improving the built environment, procedural changes, or increasing the likelihood of being caught.

		Interesting and informative, this is superior to Vivien Bowers's Crime Science (Owl, 1997) or Peter Mellett's Solving a Crime (Heinemann Library, 1999).
		For those of us who are used to seeing only the basic microscope used in a school science lab, it would have made things clearer to see how those are different from a stereoscopic microscope, an electron microscope, a comparison microscope, and a polarizing microscope.
		Similarly, when pictures are shown of an image from one of those microscopes, it would be helpful to have labels showing what (for example) is the hair and what is the shampoo, or what is the bark and what is the pollen.

		He stepped me through his investigation at the crime scene, examining the corpse as it was found by fire fighters, and then the operation in which he searched for forensic clues to the manner and cause of death.
		Crime Scene Investigation is about the science behind observing, collecting, preserving, and interpreting evidence found at a crime scene, from a simple burglary to murder.
		Sharon Plotkin, who investigates crime scenes in North Miami, Florida, taught me a great deal about procedures and how to think like an investigator—keeping an open mind, letting the evidence speak for itself, asking questions about the criminal's behavior, and making observations and inferences to figure out what's evidence and what's not.
