Realist Evaluation for Crime Science

This collection of essays, published to mark the 20th anniversary of Realistic Evaluation, celebrates the work of Professor Nick Tilley and his significant influence on the fields of policing, crime reduction and evaluation. With contributions from colleagues, co-authors and former students, many of whom are leading scholars in their own right, the thirteen essays which make up this volume contain both personal reflections and analysis of the prominent topics in Professor Tilleys 40 years of scholarship.

Graham Farrell is Professor of International and Comparative Crime Science at the School of Law, University of Leeds. He has published many studies relating to Crime Science. He has been fortunate, both professionally and personally, to know and learn from Nick Tilley for 25 years, including the last decade or so researching the international crime drop together.

Aiden Sidebottom is Senior Lecturer at the Jill Dando Institute of Security and Crime Science, University College London. His main research interests are situational crime prevention, problem-oriented policing and programme evaluation. He recently co-edited the Handbook of Crime Prevention and Community Safety (2nd edition, with Nick Tilley).

Crime science is a new way of thinking about and responding to the problem of crime in society. The distinctive nature of crime science is captured in the name.

First, crime science is about crime. Instead of the usual focus in criminology on the characteristics of the criminal offender, crime science is concerned with the characteristics of the criminal event. The analysis shifts from the distant causes of criminality biological makeup, upbringing, social disadvantage and the like to the near causes of crime. Crime scientists are interested in why, where, when and how particular crimes occur. They examine trends and patterns in crime in order to devise immediate and practical strategies to disrupt these patterns.

Second, crime science is about science. Many traditional responses to crime control are unsystematic, reactive and populist, and are too often based on untested assumptions about what works. In contrast crime science advocates an evidence-based, problem-solving approach to crime control. Adopting the scientific method, crime scientists collect data on crime, generate hypotheses about observed crime trends, devise interventions to respond to crime problems and test the adequacy of those interventions.

Crime science is utilitarian in its orientation and multidisciplinary in its foundations. Crime scientists actively engage with front-line criminal justice practitioners to reduce crime by making it more difficult for individuals to offend, and making it more likely that they will be detected if they do offend. To achieve these objectives, crime science draws on disciplines from both the social and physical sciences, including criminology, sociology, psychology, geography, economics, architecture, industrial design, epidemiology, computer science, mathematics, engineering, and biology.

Guide

Troy Allard is a Senior Lecturer within the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Griffith University, Australia. He is interested in improving understanding about the causes of serious and persistent offending and what works to reduce this offending. He is particularly interested in linking life-course and environmental criminology to determine the timing, nature and significance of risk/protective factors, whether differences are apparent based on ethnicity (First Nations) and the role of environmental factors such as remoteness. He is also interested in advancing the science of evaluation using innovative methods such as realist evaluation to establish what works for who and in what contexts. Given the importance of economic analysis for decision-making, an important component of his research involves establishing better estimates about the direct and indirect costs of crime.

Kate Bowers is a Professor of Security and Crime at the Department of Security and Crime Science at UCL. Her main research interests are in the use of quantitative techniques to examine and alleviate crime problems, focussing in particular on spatial and temporal crime patterns and evaluation methods.
