I work in a field that researches the use of technology by criminals. Often, we want to understand how the use and behaviours for a new technology might develop, or have developed in a criminal population. This project aims to test how agent based modelling could be used to investigate this problem.
The inputs to the model will be a mixture of consumer behaviour theory, criminology and domain knowledge.
The project will aim to develop a documented general methodology pattern for developing digital behaviour models that can be applied to specific use cases and static and interactive methods to present findings.
