This paper is based upon a series of presentations given at Michigan State University as the 2006 Dae Chang International Visiting Scholar. It is not, therefore, a ‘normal’ journal article describing a particular study or review. Rather, it aims to make the case for a more systematic consideration of the role of science and technology in international crime control —not only in relation to our general understanding of crime, but also in developing techniques for its prevention and detection. In doing so, it draws, for illustration, upon a small international study funded by ADT Alarms as part of its thought leadership programme. The study provides one example of the kind of developments in international crime research of which, the paper argues, there is a need for more.
