In this paper the concept of 'signal crimes' is proposed to capture the social semiotic processes by which particular types of criminal and disorderly conduct have a disproportionate impact upon fear of crime. Drawing upon the wider social scientific literature on risk perception, a sense of how...

We have described a lattice model of a sandpile that includes a coupling between evolving granular structures and dynamic responses. The coupling manifests as a granular memory. We have illustrated the role of memory by observing avalanches in a (three)-dimensional model sandpile. There are two...

Keizer et al. (2008) explore disorderly settings linked to a process of spreading norm violation. The results show that if norm violating behavior becomes more common, it negatively affects compliance in other areas. This comment addresses problematic areas in their studies and provides new...

We study the physics of the channel-hopping mechanism in randomly layered media in the anisotropic regime using a classical rate equation approach. It is found that the role played by evanescent waves is to increase the equilibration length beyond all channel localization lengths. The lateral...
