The Contagiousness of Aircraft Hijacking
It has often been claimed that aircraft hijacking is a "contagious" phenomenon, that the motivation to hijack aircraft spreads from one individual to another as a result of media coverage of hijacking incidents. This article develops a mathematical model of contagion and applies it to aircraft hijackings in the United States between 1968 and 1972. Analyses show that successful hijackings in the United States did generate additional hijacking atte…
Failure Time Models for Thinned Crime Commission Data
In studying the effects of correctional treatments and other variables on criminal behavior, researchers often use time to arrest, instead of time until a crime is committed, as the criterion variable. We examine conditions under which inferences can validly be made from the effects of predictors on the time to the first arrest to their effects on the time to the first crime committed. A nonhomogeneous Poisson process and a renewal process are co…
