Socio-Physics: Applying the Natural Sciences to Criminal Justice and Penology

Using physics and biology to examine social dynamics is not new and is often referred to as socio-physics. This is the first sustained attempt utilizing current research to apply this approach to the fields of criminal justice and penology. The authors intend this new research to promote a more innovative, creative and critical approach to the classic issues of criminal justice, penology and correctional / offender issues.
