Abstract: |
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. |
