        abstract = {This chapter examines the contribution of engineering sciences to crime reduction. Beginning
with a conceptual discussion about what engineering is, the chapter then uses the concept of
system to draw links between engineering and crime reduction. It points to the fact that
contemporary systems cannot be neatly divided between purely physical and purely social
systems, and that many systems relevant to crime (e.g. criminal justice system, surveillance and
monitoring systems, urban ecosystems, etc.) are made of people, built structures, technological
devices and information. Consequently, the chapter argues that a significant part of crime
science - that concerned with the development and management of security systems or less
criminogenic systems - is a form of (security) engineering, and that better understanding the
points of interaction between engineering and criminology is a necessary step to advance crime
science's scholarship.}
