Experimental criminology is a discipline of criminology which involves the use of scientific experiments to answer questions about crime.[1] These experiments involve assigning subjects randomly to either a "treatment" or a "control" group.[2] Such experiments are considered to be the best way to estimate the effect of one variable on another.[3] The field of experimental criminology grew significantly during the 1990s, resulting in the establishment of the Academy of Experimental Criminology, the Campbell Collaboration, and other influential organizations.[2]
