ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Crime science

Crime science is like being a detective to understand why people do bad things and how to stop them from happening. Just like how you solve puzzles or mysteries, crime science people collect clues and information to understand why crimes happen and how to prevent them in the future. They use things like science, math, and psychology to study crime patterns and help the police catch bad guys. Just like how your nose can help you smell cookies baking in the oven, crime science helps you recognize and prevent crimes before they even happen.
