چکیده

Hotspots of crime localized in space and time are well documented. Previous mathematical models of urban crime have exhibited these hotspots but considered a static or otherwise suboptimal police response to them. We introduce a program of police response to hotspots of crime in which the police adapt dynamically to changing crime patterns. In particular, they choose their deployment to solve an optimal control problem at every time. This gives rise to a free boundary problem for the police deployment’s spatial support. We present an efficient algorithm for solving this problem numerically and show that police presence can prompt surprising interactions among adjacent hotspots.

Asynchronous Instabilities of Crime Hotspots for a 1-D Reaction-Diffusion Model of Urban Crime with Focused Police Patrol

We analyze the existence and linear stability of steady-state localized hotspot patterns for a 1-D three-component singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion (RD) system modeling urban crime in the presence of police intervention. Our three-component RD model augments the two-component system for an attractiveness field and a criminal density, as introduced by Short et. al. [Math. Models. Meth. Ap...

Learning, Predicting and Planning against Crime: Demonstration Based on Real Urban Crime Data (Demonstration)

Figure 1: DBN Crime in urban areas plagues every city in all countries. This demonstration will show a novel approach for learning and predicting crime patterns and planning against such crimes using real urban crime data. A notable characteristic of urban crime, distinct from organized terrorist attacks, is that most urban crimes are opportunistic in nature, i.e., criminals do not plan their a...
