Jun 17, 2013 · A case study of an online behaviour system in crime. This study investigates social media fraud facilitated by botnets to understand the onset and maturation of this new online offending behaviour and concludes that the rise in cybercrime is a result of the behaviours of all actors in the system, not just those who offend.
Jun 16, 2022 · A recent report suggests that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) record around 80 billion automated scans daily by online perpetrators with the aim of identifying targets for cybercrime (Lewis, 2018), and in the year ending September 2019, 1 million ‘computer misuse’ crimes were reportedly committed against households in England and Wales (National Crime Agency [NCA], 2020).

It’s important to understand this year’s data against the broader background of crime in the United States. Between 1960 and 1980, the murder rate roughly doubled, climbing from 5.1 per 100,000 people to 10.2. After a short dip, murder rates reached their most recent high point in 1991, peaking at 9.8. This increase was not confined to just homicid...
First and foremost, crime continues to drop in Chicago. Though it hasn’t quite returned to 2014 levels, it’s making steady progress. Compared to late November of last year, reported crimes are down by 10 percent. That decrease is driven, in part, by significant declines in property crime. But declines in violent crimes this past year were equally s...
Of the drops in crime seen nationwide in the last quarter-century, New York City saw some of the sharpest compared to other cities. And those public safety gains are largely holding. This year, the number of crimes and violent crimes reported through December 1 is largely unchanged from the prior year, declining 1.4 percent and increasing 1.5 perce...

But it’s not true. For one, research suggests that undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit violent crimes than U.S. citizen...
Lastly, we turn to another place where crime and violence spiked in 2015: Baltimore. This year, Baltimore’s story continues to be a mixed one. The total number of crimes reported in the city fell by almost 6 percent compared to 2018 (through the last week of November), with violent crime falling by about 2.5 percent. Robbery, burglary, theft, and a...
It’s too soon to draw national conclusions, which would also have to be based on a review of many additional cities and areas, but the declines in Chicago especially point in a positive direction. As the year draws to a close, the data points toward significant public safety gains in some major cities and stabilization in others. The few trouble sp...
