Abstract: |
Research activities aimed to
understand the dynamics of criminal networks or organisations
– like extortion racket systems – are of interest for criminologists and
scientists in related fields, for practitioners from police and judiciary, as
well as for political decision makers. This paper aims to contribute to this
area by bringing together data analysis methods with conceptual modelling and simulation techniques employing normative
agents. As an exemplary case the internal collapse of a criminal network is investigated.
The outlined model development process involves qualitative data analysis of
police files, specification of a conceptual model of the dynamics within the
regarded criminal network, and the definition of intraagent
processes for the agents used in the simulation model. |
