Police science or police studies is the study of police work. It is a subfield of criminology and sociology.[1][2] As an interdisciplinary science, the field includes contributions from political science,[3] forensic science, anthropology, psychology, jurisprudence, criminal justice, human geography,[4] correctional administration and penology. The field makes contributions to understanding of community policing, police culture, and other policing tactics or behaviors.
There was a "dizzying expansion" of police studies in the early 2000s with a large number of works being published in the field.[1]
