The Wikipedia page doesn't. Except when talking about certain specific organizations. – Elliott Frisch Nov 01 '15 at 03:23

Use lower case with a few exceptions:
At the beginning of a sentence or quotation or as part of a title "I titled my paper 'Crime Science' because ..."
As the name of a specific course: Crime Science 101 (but "I took a course on crime science.")
As part of an industry-wide standard: Boston Crime Science is unique because ...
Or, as part of an organization (as above), like the Illinois Crime Science Association
