This book offers an introduction to crime science; it is
specifically for police and security professionals. Written by one
of the founders of Crime Science and an expert in crime reduction,
it considers the unique characteristics of the approach, its
applicability to the control of crime, disorder and terrorism, and
the importance of experimentation and the testing of new ideas to
build a knowledge base for ethical policing. Core content includes:
• The basics of crime science in concept, theory and practice;
• Methods of research and assessment used by crime scientists;
• Crime Science and policing, including its application to volume
crimes, serious crimes and investigation; • Legitimacy and public
compliance; • Policing, science and future crimes. This book is
essential reading for all students of professional policing, as
well as those interested in crime and its control, reduction and
prevention.

Crime science is precisely what it says it is: the application of
science to the phenomenon of crime. This handbook, intended as a
crime science manifesto, showcases the scope of the crime science
field and provides the reader with an understanding of the
assumptions, aspirations and methods of crime science, as well as
the variety of topics that fall within its purview. Crime science
provides a distinctive approach to understanding and dealing with
crime: one that is outcome-oriented, evidence-based and that
crosses boundaries between disciplines. The central mission of
crime science is to find new ways to cut crime and increase
security. Beginning by setting out the case for crime science, the
editors examine the roots of crime science in environmental
criminology and describe its key features. The book is then divided
into two sections. The first section comprises chapters by
disciplinary specialists about the contributions their sciences can
make or have already made to crime science. Chapter 12 of this book
is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a
Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0

Situational crime prevention is the art and science of reducing
opportunities for crime. Despite accumulating evidence of its value
in reducing many different kinds of crime - such as burglary,
fraud, robbery, car theft, child sexual abuse and even terrorism -
little has previously been published about its role in reducing
organised crimes. This collection of case studies, by a
distinguished international group of researchers, fills this gap by
documenting the application of a situational prevention approach to
a variety of organised crimes. These include sex trafficking,
cigarette and drug smuggling, timber theft, mortgage fraud,
corruption of private professionals and public officials, and
subversion of tendering procedures for construction projects. By
moving the focus away from the nature of criminal organisations to
the analysis of the crimes committed by these organisations, the
book opens up a fresh agenda for policy and research. Situational
Prevention of Organised Crimes will be of interest to those tasked
with tackling organised crime problems, as well as those interested
in understanding the ways that organised crime problems have
manifested themselves globally, and how law enforcement and other
agencies might seek to tackle them in the future.
