Project description

Previous research on offende mobility claims that mobility principles govern the decision-making process of potential criminals. Recent research, however, challenges the general applicability of these principles. The current project therefore scrutinizes these mobility principles and aims to establish to what extent these principles can be considered true principles by analyzing five year police data and a judicial case file analysis.
