| summary | The approach is similar to that used in mathematical biology to describe how potential epidemics are either spread or contained in a population. A key motivation for this is the fact that epidemics are spread by social contact; by social interaction between individuals. In the same way, participation in crime can be influenced by the activities of individuals' peer groups. A simple model is set up and calibrated to empirical evidence on burglary and violent crime in the UK. |
