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.
