New study tests a core idea in crime pattern theory: do burglars strike along the paths they travel between familiar places—or only near their activity nodes?
Analysing 450 burglaries in The Hague, @toby-davies.bsky.social and I show they do both.

🚨 It's been a long time in the making, but I'm happy it's finally out!

Standing on the shoulders of giants, in this preprint we propose an avenue for theoretical development in the field of environmental (cyber)criminology with practical applications for crime analysis.

The title page of the preprint. Title: The Topology of Cyberspace and Cybercrime Journeys: A Framework for Analyzing Online Offender Mobility Authors: Asier Moneva, Stijn Ruiter, and Wim Bernasco Abstract: This paper introduces a novel framework for analyzing online offender mobility. Drawing on multidisciplinary insights, we extend two established criminological models for studying offline offending—the geometry of crime and crime journeys—by adapting their core concepts to cyberspace and developing a topology in which the cyber place is defined and becomes the unit of analysis. Just as offenders travel before, during, and after committing crime offline, we argue they also undertake trips before, during, and after committing cybercrime, and that like offline journeys these cybercrime journeys comprise identifiable and measurable components. We further distinguish between human journeys (what offenders perceive) and data journeys (what happens to the information they transmit). We explicitly demonstrate how concepts from the geometry of crime and crime journeys translate from offline to online crime and mobility. This approach enables the systematic formulation of research questions and the measurement of behavioral patterns, facilitating the generation and accumulation of knowledge on cybercrime offending. The paper illustrates the framework’s theoretical relevance within environmental criminology and its practical application for cybercrime analysis through concrete examples. Schematic representation of a cybercrime journey. Hindu-Arabic numerals represent the sequence of cyber places visited by the user, while Roman numerals indicate the sequence of infrastructure nodes traversed by the data.

Don't know yet, but I happen to have booked an Airbnb in Exarchia, real cool vibe neighborhood. We walked up the hill in our local park. Great view!

We're now on this high-speed train, which the Dutch and Belgians might recognize as the Fyra train. It only operated a few months and was sent back to Italy due to teething problems. Here it runs smoothly so far.

We spent the night in Milan. Booked a hotel close to the train station, because we leave early today. Only one train, Milan to Bari.

Ik hoorde het ook. Je kunt het vervelend vinden, een miskenning zelfs, maar dit is niet de eerste keer dat zoiets gebeurt.
Misschien toch ook nuttig als we allemaal eens in de spiegel kijken.

According to Heliyon, an open access journal from Cell Press @cp-heliyon.bsky.social, I am an expert on ovarian cancer. My wife can attest I know very little about ovaries, and I am trying to avoid cancer too.

Excited to share that our PhD candidate Roos Jansen just got her first paper published in Crime Science.
It's on satisfaction with police among crime-reporting victims.
