"This paper attempts to make the case for a new discipline ? crime science. Crime science is outcome focussed ? it is concerned with the reduction of crime ? and is multi-disciplinary in encouraging the involvement of a wide range of contributory sciences to the achievement of that goal. The paper sets out some broad parameters defining this new discipline, but first it argues that we need to think about crime and disorder differently and accept the failure of the criminal justice system as a primary means of crime reduction. The paper concludes with some policy implications for this approach to crime control."
