Abstract

Crime control and security are among the essential needs of development in any society. One of the frequently used theories of criminology that its birth was in the 1990s is postmodern or eclectic criminology. Postmodern criminology through combining different scientific theories, including mathematics tries to do a comprehensive analysis of crime. Nowadays, mathematical models are used to study the dynamic behavior of many phenomena and processes in engineering sciences, basic sciences and humanities. Mathematical modeling is one of the important tools of scientists in controlling and predicting the future of various dynamic phenomena. In the field of law and especially in criminology, these models are very useful for evaluating crime control strategies. In this article, using a new mathematical model, we deal with mass dynamic modeling and its analysis.
