We study a theoretical general equilibrium environment in which the only activity of interest is armed robbery. Agents choose whether to be citizens or robbers, and whether to purchase handguns. Armed citizens can protect themselves from robbery but any armed agent runs the risk of accidentally shooting himself or another agent. The government chooses a gun tax, and the intensity of police effo...

It is well established that offenders’ routine activity locations (nodes) shape their crime locations, but research examining the geography of spaces has to date largely been limited a few core nodes such as homes and prior offense small study areas. This paper explores utility police data provide novel insights into spatial extent of, overlap between, individual spaces. includes wider set (inc...

The escalating waves of criminal activities involving motorists and other road users on highways is alarming, consequently resulting in many travellers losing lives properties. This paper aimed at analyzing the spatial distribution its threat transportation across state. study utilized both primary secondary data sources namely: structured questionnaire (likert scale), FGD printed material such...

Recently, deep learning technologies, namely Neural Networks [1], are attracting more and attention from businesses the scientific community, as they help optimize processes find real solutions to problems much efficiently economically than many other approaches. In particular, well suited for situations when you need detect objects or look similar patterns in videos images, making them relevan...

Despite its long history in criminology, research on the relationship between macroeconomic conditions and rates of common crime remains limited. That is in part because many analysts doubt that any systematic relationship exists and in part because of disagreement with regard to the validity of the indicators typically used to measure economic conditions. We argue in this article that good the...

Using Markov Switching Autoregressive models the behaviour of four crime variables and unemployment rate during the period of study is investigated and different regimes for each variable determined. Using some nonparametric measures such as the Concordance Index (Harding and Pagan, 2002) and Independence of Chronologies (Bodman and Crosby, 2005), among others, the independency of cycles of une...
