November 2010 mit Stephan Stahlschmidt, Humboldt-Universität Berlin* /Titel: / *Graphical Models and Sex-related Homicides * /Abstract: / We present an investigation into the link between the age of an offender and the characteristics of a specific crime, namely sex-related homicides. The work provides insight into how the age of an offender affects the crime and in reverse, if knowledge of events at a crime scene could be exploited to predict the age of an unidentified offender. As general sociological and psychological theory on this specific type of crime (and the precise influence of the offender's age) is lacking and therefore no hypothesis could have been tested up until now, the technique applied is an explorative analysis of 252 cases of sex-related homicides, which have been transferred to one of the biggest existing data bases on this specific type of crime. In detail, graphical modelling was applied to learn the structure of the data and a Bayesian network was generated. This Bayesian network constitutes a data driven model on sex-related homicides and highlights influences of the offender's age on the crime. **************************************************************** Alle Interessierten sind herzlich eingeladen.
