  • A Crime Science course at Northumbria University in the UK.
  • A Crime Science course at the University of Twente in the Netherlands.
  • A Crime Science Unit at DSTL, the research division of the UK Ministry of Defence.
  • The term crime science increasingly being adopted by situational and experimental criminologists in the US and Australia.
  • The annual Crime Science Network gathering in London draws police and academics from across the world.
  • Crime science increasingly being cited in criminology text books and journals papers (sometimes claimed as a new branch of criminology, and sometimes reviled as anti-criminology).
  • Crime science featuring in several learned journals in other disciplines (such as a special issue of the European Journal of Applied Mathematics devoted to "crime modelling") .

Famous quotes containing the words growth of the, growth of, growth, crime, science and/or field:

    You know that the nucleus of a time is not
    The poet but the poem, the growth of the mind
    Of the world, the heroic effort to live expressed
    As victory. The poet does not speak in ruins
    Nor stand there making orotund consolations.
    He shares the confusions of intelligence.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Yes, I am a thorough republican. No other form of government is so favorable to the growth of art.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    The English countryside, its growth and its destruction, is a genuine and tragic theme.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First you’re the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims he’s been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didn’t commit. And now you play the peevish lover stung by jealously and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and a little more from the Actors Studio.
    Ernest Lehman (b.1920)

    Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey-cage.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    How sweet I roam’d from field to field
    And tasted all the summer’s pride,
    Till I the Prince of Love beheld
    Who in the sunny beams did glide!
    William Blake (1757–1827)
