  2. Crime pattern theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_pattern_theory

    Crime pattern theory is a way of explaining why people commit crimes in certain areas.. Crime is not random, it is either planned or opportunistic. [citation needed]According to the theory crime happens when the activity space of a victim or target intersects with the activity space of an offender.

  3. Cattell–Horn–Carroll theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattell–Horn–Carroll...

    The Cattell–Horn–Carroll theory is an integration of two previously established theoretical models of intelligence: the theory of fluid and crystallized intelligence (Gf-Gc) (Cattell, 1941; Horn 1965), and Carroll's three-stratum theory (1993), a hierarchical, three-stratum model of intelligence. Due to substantial similarities between the ...

  4. The Bell Curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Curve

    The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life is a 1994 book by the psychologist Richard J. Herrnstein and the political scientist Charles Murray in which the authors argue that human intelligence is substantially influenced by both inherited and environmental factors and that it is a better predictor of many personal outcomes, including financial income, job performance ...

  5. Three-stratum theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-stratum_theory

    The three-stratum theory is a theory of cognitive ability proposed by the American psychologist John Carroll in 1993. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is based on a factor-analytic study of the correlation of individual-difference variables from data such as psychological tests, school marks and competence ratings from more than 460 datasets.

  6. Positivist school (criminology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positivist_school...

    In general terms, positivism rejected the Classical Theory's reliance on free will and sought to identify positive causes that determined the propensity for criminal behaviour. The Classical School of Criminology believed that the punishment against a crime, should in fact fit the crime and not be immoderate.

    Predictive policing is the usage of mathematics, predictive analytics, and other analytical techniques in law enforcement to identify potential criminal activity. [1] [2] [3] A report published by the RAND Corporation identified four general categories predictive policing methods fall into: methods for predicting crimes, methods for predicting offenders, methods for predicting perpetrators ...

  8. Social network analysis in criminology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network_analysis_in...

    Closeness can be regarded as a measure of the speed at which information from one node spreads to all other nodes sequentially. In the classic definition of closeness centrality, the spread of information is modelled by the use of shortest paths. This model is considered to be one of the less accurate models for all types of communication ...

  9. Vernon's verbal-perceptual model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernon's_verbal-perceptual...

    Vernon's model about intelligence looks similar to the fluid-crystallized (Gf-Gc) intelligence theory because they both agree with g factor and have two more different dimensions on intelligence structure. In fact, Gf-Gc model has more broad factors such as special visualization (Gv), retrieval (Gr) or speed factor (Gs). [3] "One reason why the ...
