Grounding a Cognitive Modelling Approach for Criminal Behaviour
نویسنده
چکیده
This article presents a cognitive modelling approach for criminal behaviour, which is illustrated by a case study for the behaviour of three types of violent criminals as known from literature within the area of Criminology. The model can show each of their behaviours, depending on the characteristics set and inputs in terms of stimuli from the environment. Based on literature in Criminology about motivations and opportunities and their underlying factors, it is shown by a formal mapping how the model can be related to a biological grounding. This formal mapping covers ontology elements for states and dynamic properties for processes, and thus shows how the cognitive model can be biologically grounded.

On the relation between cognitive and biological modelling of criminal behaviour
This article discusses how a cognitive modelling approach for criminal behaviour can be related to a biological modelling approach. The discussion is illustrated by a case study for the behaviour of three types of violent criminals as known from literature within the area of Criminology. A cognitive model is discussed that can show each of the behaviours of these types of criminals, depending o...
متن کاملIntegration of Biological, Psychological, and Social Aspects in Agent-Based Simulation of a Violent Psychopath
In the analysis of criminal behaviour, a combination of biological, psychological and social aspects may be taken into account. Dynamical modelling methods developed in recent years often address these aspects separately. This paper contributes an agent-based modelling approach for behaviour of a certain criminal type, the violent psychopath, in which these aspects are integrated in one dynamic...
متن کاملCaught in the Act: Investigating Crime by Agent-Based Simulation
In the analysis of criminal behaviour, a combination of biological, psychological and social aspects may be taken into account. Dynamical modelling methods developed in recent years often address biological, psychological, or social dynamical systems separately. This paper makes the first step in the development of an agent-based modelling approach for criminal behaviour in which these aspects ...
متن کاملIntegrating Rational Choice and Subjective Biological and Psychological Factors in Criminal Behaviour Models
The Rational Choice Theory describes criminal behaviour as a form of means-end decision-making. In contrast, it is often argued that criminal behaviour involves subjective, personal biological and psychological aspects. This paper contributes an agent-based modelling approach for criminal behaviour integrating such subjective aspects with decision-making based on means-end analysis, and illustr...
متن کاملThe Language Grounding Problem and its Relation to the Internal Structure of Cognitive Agents
An original approach to modelling internal structure of artificial cognitive agents and the phenomenon of language grounding is presented. The accepted model for the internal cognitive space reflects basic structural properties of human cognition and assumes the partition of cognitive phenomena into conscious and 'non-conscious'. The language is treated as a set of semiotic symbols and is used ...
