4th Symposium on the Structure and Mobility of Crime
NetSci2019 Satellite
May 27, 2019, Burlington, Vermont
NetCrime—The structure and mobility of crime
Crime plagues the world and is present in every city, at every economic level, at every education level; it percolates in the structure of society probably more than any other socioeconomic problem. Notably, we have seen recently a huge leap forward in the understanding of social structures and human mobility—two crucial components of crime. Offenders not only rarely commit crime alone (be it a robbery of a few hundred dollars, or a high-profile wall-street crime of millions of dollars) but also tend to commit crime along with the same associates. Criminal activities are complex processes and likely to depend on an underlying network of actors involved in the activities who, like most people, are part of global social networks. With the advance in Network Science and related areas, we now have better tools to approach and examine social phenomena such as crime.
Since 2015, NetCrime is an event that has been put together to bring researchers from various fields including, Criminology, Sociology, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, law-enforcement to an open forum to discuss the role of Network Science in understanding the structure and dynamics of crime.
