[edit] Merge

This seems to be a non-notable neologism that is simply a variation on the idea of Police science. Merging 2 stubs would make one less stubby stub and be more informative. Anyone? bobanny 17:07, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Disagree. Crime science is about where and when crime occurs and what can be done before it happens. Crime prevention through environmental design and understanding criminal behaviour by using statistics are major areas of research. While crime science appears to be one aspect of policing science, it is not simply a variation. The British origin of the term means it is not well known in the Americas, while the american term Police science appears less well known outside of the continent. -- Cameron Dewe 07:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
