Merge[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Criminal Science[edit]

As criminal science redirects to this page I would like to point out that criminal science had existed long before late 1990's because days before I came across an old book on penal code written by an instructor of a detective training school specializing in Criminal Science.Infact I searched the Wikipedia for the entry Criminal Science just after having a glance at the book.So I doubt if crime science and criminal science are the same.Pachyobs (talk) 15:40, 5 September 2011 (UTC)Pachyobs (talk) 12:17, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the principles underlying Crime science go back to the Peelian principles, from as early as 1829. The role of the Police is to prevent crime and disorder and the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder. In many respects, Crime science is about understanding how to police more effectively. Criminal science sounds more like criminology, but the term may also need to be disambiguated because if there is a focus on understanding the crime, rather than the criminal offender, then it could fall under the definition of Crime science. In other words it could go both ways at the same time. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 00:59, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Does the lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? I think article does give a strong brief description about crime science and what goes into the study behind criminology -Drakeanthony04 (talk) 01:51, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Major edit to fix citations[edit]

There are several citation issues with Crime science|this article]] at the moment and this might take a while to fix, while the general reference documents are examined and converted into citations. Meanwhile, please avoid removing the clean-up tags unless you also fix them. The tags are there for a reason to highlight the places in the article where there are issues that need to be fixed. These tags are temporary and I expect to deal with most of them over the next few days and definitely before the end of January 2021. You are welcome to help by adding content with in-line citations, but edits to simply remove the clean-up tags are not helpful. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 19:58, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography done! I think I have found places where all the items in the bibliography can be cited. I have also converted all the bibliography items into citation templates, with URLs where available. The original items in the bibliography all had names so I have moved those names into the citation reference names. I have added quotes to the citations but I have omitted the quotes from the bibliography as it looks cleaner and they are unnecessary if the quotes are also in the citations. Now we have a reasonable number of in-line citations that are used verify the article and these also appear in the bibliography I have use the in use template and consider the Major edit finished. Earlier than I thought. Template auto-fill helped, especially if I found a DOI reference. The remaining issues are places where a citation is needed to support more recent statements that are not covered by the bibliographic reference material which dates from about 2012 and earlier. Most of the uncited material was added later. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 01:25, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
