Recent decades have seen a rise in the use of physics methods to study different societal
phenomena. This development has been due to physicists venturing outside of their …

Containing the spread of crime in urban societies remains a major challenge. Empirical
evidence suggests that, if left unchecked, crimes may be recurrent and proliferate. On the …

This paper proposes a systems approach to social sciences based on a mathematical
framework derived from a generalization of the mathematical kinetic theory and of theoretical …

This paper deals with the modeling of social competition, possibly resulting in the onset of
extreme conflicts. More precisely, we discuss models describing the interplay between …

The prevalence of criminal gang activities in the society has continued to be a huge burden
to mankind. Despite several attempts by the government and non-governmental …

Mathematical models are increasingly being adapted to model criminal behaviour and may
be used to support traditional crime prevention methods. This review focuses on recent …

We consider the no-flux initial-boundary value problem for the cross-diffusive evolution
system:\begin {eqnarray*}\left\{\begin {array}{ll} u_t= u_ {xx}-\chi\big (\frac {u}{v}\partial_x …

This paper proposes a systems theory approach to the modeling of onset and evolution of
criminality in a territory, which aims at capturing the complexity features of social systems …

In this present paper, the principles of optimal control theory is applied to a non-linear
mathematical model for the population dynamics of criminal gangs with variability in the sub …

Socio-economic sciences are undergoing a great conceptual change. Little by little
economists and sociologists have started to understand the need to introduce new and more …
