Risky Sexual Behaviors among a Sample of Gang-identified Youth in Los Angeles.
Gang youth are at an increased likelihood of participating in unsafe sexual behaviors and at an elevated risk of exposure to sexually transmitted infection (STIs), including HIV. This manuscript presents quantitative and qualitative data on sexual behaviors among a sample of predominately heterosexual, male gang youth aged 16 to 25 years interviewed in Los Angeles between 2006 and 2007 (n = 60)...
متن کاملAdaptation of an Animal Territory Model to Street Gang Spatial Patterns in Los Angeles
Territorial animals and street gangs exhibit similar behavioral characteristics. Both organize themselves around a home base and mark their territories to distinguish claimed regions. Moorcroft et al. model the formation of territories and spatial distributions of coyote packs and their markings in [24]. We modify this approach to simulate gang dynamics in the Hollenbeck policing division of ea...
متن کاملAdaptation of an Ecological Territorial Model to Street Gang Spatial Patterns in Los Angeles
Territorial behavior is often found in nature. Coyotes and wolves organize themselves around a den site and mark their territory to distinguish their claimed region. Moorcroft et al. model the formation of territories and spatial distributions of coyote packs and their markings in [33]. We modify this ecological approach to simulate spatial gang dynamics in the Hollenbeck policing division of e...
متن کاملGang rivalry dynamics via coupled point process networks
We introduce a point process model for inter-gang violence driven by retaliatory behavior. For this purpose we use a coupled system of state-dependent jump stochastic differential equations to model the conditional intensities of the directed network of gang rivalries. The system admits an exact simulation strategy based upon Poisson thinning. The model produces a wide variety of transient or s...
متن کاملSeismic Waveform Modeling in the Los Angeles Basin
The proximity of several recent earthquakes to the Los Angeles sedimentary basin provides an opportunity to isolate the effects of the basin on wave propagation. The 4 October 1987 aftershock (ML = 5.3) of the Whittier Narrows sequence and the 28 June 1991 Sierra Madre mainshock (ML = 5.8) are on a similar azimuth to stations overlying the deepest part of the basin. A distinctive feature of rec...
