Abstract
CHACON-MATEOS, Manuel and TELLEZ-ACOSTA, Wilmer. Victimization and “shock waves”: computer fear-of-crime simulation. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2017, vol.59, n.1, pp.9-25. ISSN 1794-3108.
A computational model of the generation and propagation of fear of crime is offered, based on impacts created by criminal victimization.
The objective:
consists of evaluating and describing the likely effects that a set of determinants relating to (direct and indirect) victimization may have on the spread of fear of crime; the social network size, the victimization rate and the healing time in victimized subjects.
The method:
used was the computer simulation where work was carried out with four combinations of parameters exemplifying different situations.
The results:
enable the description of the interaction dynamics between the determining factors taken into consideration, and reflect their non-linear influence in the propagation of fear of crime.
Keywords : Simulation; model; fear; crime; social scientist.
