[Hub Talk] Crime Science 101

August 11, 2025

On 10 August 2025, at the OHEC Fair 2025: SCI POWER FOR FUTURE THAILAND,
the Crime Science Knowledge Hub hosted a talk titled:
“Crime Science 101” – Introducing New Perspectives on Preventing and Reducing Crime in the Digital Era

Key Highlights : 

- Crime Science applies scientific methods and multidisciplinary knowledge to effectively reduce crime.

- Compared traditional crime control approaches—focused on retribution and deterrence—with evidence-based, scientific strategies that leverage data and research to understand root causes and prevent crime proactively.


Topics discussed included : 

- Using data science for crime mapping and hotspot analysis 

- Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) 

- Applying advanced technologies such as AI Police Cyborg 1.0 for crime prevention 

- Raising public awareness, particularly on online fraud prevention, to eliminate potential “victims” from the crime equation

This session emphasized that public safety is everyone’s responsibility and that prevention at the source is more effective than reactive solutions. 


The talk concluded with three key principles that capture the essence of Crime Science: “Reduce Crime – Think Scientifically – Use Multidisciplinary Approaches.”
