Daily crime flows within a city
Objectives: This paper uses transportation data to estimate how daily spatio-temporal shifts in population influence the distribution of crime over a city’s census tracts (CTs). A “funnel hypothesis” states that these daily flows are central for crime concentrations within a city. We present arguments for and against funneling prior to empirical analysis. Methods: A municipal transport agency i...
متن کاملA spatial agent-based model for the simulation of adults' daily walking within a city.
Environmental effects on walking behavior have received attention in recent years because of the potential for policy interventions to increase population levels of walking. Most epidemiologic studies describe associations of walking behavior with environmental features. These analyses ignore the dynamic processes that shape walking behaviors. A spatial agent-based model (ABM) was developed to ...
متن کاملCRIME IN THE INNER CITY Does Vegetation Reduce Crime?
Although vegetation has been positively linked to fear of crime and crime in a number of settings, recent findings in urban residential areas have hinted at a possible negative relationship: Residents living in “greener” surroundings report lower levels of fear, fewer incivilities, and less aggressive and violent behavior. This study used police crime reports to examine the relationship between...
متن کاملGeodesics and flows in a Poissonian city
The stationary isotropic Poisson line network was used to derive upper bounds on mean excess network-geodesic length in Aldous and Kendall (2008). This new paper presents a study of the geometry and fluctuations of near-geodesics in such a network. The notion of a “Poissonian city” is introduced, in which connections between pairs of nodes are made using simple “no-overshoot” paths based on the...
