Abstract

Highlights: [•] We propose an agent-based model to simulate crime in public places. [•] The proposed model has been applied to Santiago (Chile) and Vancouver (Canada) and provided reliable results. [•] The proposed model can be used to test patrolling strategies as well as predictive crime models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
