A recent disciplinary offshoot of criminology, crime science (CS) defines itself as "the application of science to the control of crime." One of its stated ambitions is to act as a cross-disciplinary linchpin in the domain of crime reduction. Despite many practical successes, notably in the area of situational crime prevention (SCP), CS has yet to achieve a commensurate level of academic visibility. The case is made that the growth of CS is stifled by its reliance on a model of decision-making, the Rational Choice Perspective (RCP), which is inimical to the integration of knowledge and insights from the behavioral, cognitive and neurosciences (CBNs). Examples of salient developments in the CBNs are provided, as regards notably multiple-system perspectives of decision-making and approaches to person-environment interaction. Short and long-term benefits of integration for CS are briefly outlined.
犯罪学的一个近期分支学科是犯罪科学（CS），它将自身定义为“将科学应用于犯罪控制”。其既定目标之一是在减少犯罪领域充当跨学科的关键环节。尽管在情境犯罪预防（SCP）等领域取得了许多实际成功，但 CS 尚未达到相应的学术知名度。有人认为，CS 的发展受到其对决策模型——理性选择视角（RCP）的依赖的阻碍，而这种模型不利于将行为、认知和神经科学（CBNs）的知识和见解整合起来。本文就决策的多系统视角和人与环境相互作用的方法等方面，提供了 CBNs 中显著发展的例子。简要概述了 CS 进行整合的短期和长期收益。
