| Abstrakt: | This research was designed to test the effectiveness of interdisciplinary scientific research in the field of crime. A survey was conducted using an online questionnaire to assess the hypotheses and evaluate the adequacy of statistical and text analysis tools. The sample consisted of scientists from various disciplines. The results of the data analysis showed that there is a lack of effective interdisciplinary cooperation and knowledge synthesis among the different types of sciences. Interdisciplinarity in science involves the synthesis and application of knowledge from different scientific fields. In the field of crime research, there is a lack of organized interdisciplinary approaches due to the relative isolation of various scientific disciplines and their focus on traditional research subjects. This means that crime is often not a priority for these disciplines. The discussion chapter examined the factors contributing to the less effective interdisciplinary research in the field of crime, as well as explored the potential for achieving a more effective synthesis of knowledge in criminology. |
