Twenty papers presented by Liu (geography, U. of Cincinnati) and Eck (criminal justice, U. of Cincinnati) address a range of issues in the relatively new field of artificial crime analysis and crime simulation, which combines criminology, computer simulation, and geographic information systems to examine how crime patterns form and what can be done to prevent crime. Opening papers address critical topics of simulation, including the need for systematic replication and tests of validity, the level of detail needed in the geographic environment for agent based simulation research, and the visualization of urban land-use change for the study of crime. The next section focuses on conditions that might influence crime patterns and includes chapters that look at ways simulation can be used to model target distribution, methods for simulating traffic flow, and modeling spatio-temporal autocorrelation. Eight case studies of crime simulation applications are then presented, followed by papers on the simulation of the behavior of agencies and systems of agencies.
