A Social Interaction Model For Crime Hot Spots
نویسنده
چکیده
A common feature of mapped crime patterns is a strong spatial and temporal clustering into crime “hot spots”. In this paper we explore a social interaction model for the evolution of the attractiveness of the crime environment for criminal activity. We see how hot spots may arise when the idiosyncratic attractiveness of the environment is not encouraging for criminal activity. The stability of these hot spots is determined to depend on both the size of the hot spot and the social interaction function itself.

متن کاملEarly Warning System for Crime Hot Spots
Objectives Using violent crime data from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania we investigate the performance of an “early warning system” (EWS) for starting/stopping police deployments to hot spots for crime prevention. We show that (1) even the hottest chronic hot spots are dynamic with months “on” and “off” and (2) temporary hot spots are also targets for prevention. We compare the performance of EWS to ...
