Olesoninterrogate the promises of crime scienceand target our misplaced faith in technology as the solution to criminality.This book deconstructs crime science's most prominent manifestationsbiological, actuarial, security, and environmental sciences.Rather than holding the technological keys to crime's resolution, crime sciences inscribe criminality on particular bodies and constitute a primary resource for the conceptualization of crime that many societies take for granted.Crime science may strive to reduce crime, but in doing so, itreproduces power asymmetries, creates profit motives,undermines important legal concepts, instantiates questionable practices,and forces open new vistas of deviant activity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e List of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.
