Mapping Gang Spheres of Influence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many urban environments have criminal gangs competing for control of available resources and gang territories. Research in criminology has linked the effect of these gang territories on criminal activity by criminal gangs. However, a great deal of a given criminal group’s activity occurs beyond the boundaries of that gang’s known territory but within a region we term a gang’s criminal sphere of influence. This paper documents the contributions of combining multilevel spatial choice modeling of gang behavior with a Geographic Information System (GIS) to develop a Sphere of Influence (SOI) analysis for criminal gangs in a given geographic region.

متن کاملInfluence of reaction parameters on crystal phase growth and optical properties of ultrasonic assisted hydro- and solvothermal synthesized sub-micrometer-sized CdS spheres
Sub-micrometer-sized CdS spheres were synthesized by hydrothermal and solvothermal reactions using Cd(NO3)2.4H2O and CH4N2S raw materials at a constant stoichiometric 1 : 2, Cd : S molar ratio. Various conditions such as solvent type (water and/or ethanol), reaction time and temperature were examined for the synthesis of the targets. The sy...
متن کاملA Study on the Different Effect of Religiosity in General and Private Spheres of Life
Some researchers based on the distinction theory, believe that religious influence on other spheres of social life reduce and in spite of traditional life spheres lead by a set of its values, not by a coherent unit and driven by fragmentation theory of values. The effect of religion on public life and private areas such as work and family over the area of public policy is effective. The relat...
متن کاملOn the Uniqueness of the Foliation of Spheres of Constant Mean Curvature in Asymptotically Flat 3-manifolds
Abstract. In this note we study constant mean curvature surfaces in asymptotically flat 3-manifolds. We prove that, outside a given compact subset in an asymptotically flat 3-manifold with positive mass, stable spheres of given constant mean curvature are unique. Therefore we are able to conclude that there is a unique foliation of stable spheres of constant mean curvature in an asymptotically ...
