Hiv/aids, mad cow disease, west nile virus, sars, tb, ebola: the advent of disease pathogens as criminal attack tools or threats. Terrorist groups rely on the internet to recruit, raise funds, and organize. The systematic study of the nature, extent, cause, and control of law-breaking behavior. An applied science for establishing knowledge about crime and its control based on empirical research.
