A Social Interaction Model For Crime Hot Spots

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

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.
