“…The excessive use of some illicit drugs influences the user to commit thoughtless acts that result in a risk for both the user and those around him, such as family, friends and society. This generates a public health problem since its users can commit crimes and burden the health systems 38 …”

“…This generates a public health problem since its users can commit crimes and burden the health systems. 38 In addition, another factor that may be taken into consideration is the significant percentage of individuals self-declared as non-white carriers of halitosis. The last demographic census conducted, in 2010, by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) showed that 50.7% of the population was composed of black people, self-declared as black or brown.…”

Objective To assess the prevalence and associated factors of self‐reported halitosis in institutionalized adolescents in a city in southern Brazil. Methods This cross‐sectional study involved male institutionalized adolescents, aged 15–19 years old, at the Socio‐Educational Assistance Center in the city of Passo Fundo, Brazil. Data collection was performed by a research team composed of two interviewers, two clinical examiners of oral health and two examiners of salivary flow. A structured questionnaire was applied, which included demographical, socioeconomical, general health behaviour, presence of health problems and oral health self‐perception variables. Decayed, Missing, Filled Index was used for the clinical examination. The salivary flow collection was performed using the mechanically stimulated total saliva method, in which only the liquid component was measured. Results The prevalence of self‐reported halitosis in this sample was 51.5% (n = 35). In the final multivariate analysis, halitosis was significantly associated with the non‐white racial group (prevalence ratio [RP]:1.703; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]:1.101–2.634), use of crack (RP:1.857; 95%CI:1.270–2.714) and number of decayed teeth (PR: 1.123; 95%CI:1.008–1.252). The use of alcohol and access to dental care in the last 12 months were not significantly associated with self‐reported halitosis. Conclusion It was concluded that non‐white and crack‐user youngsters had a high occurrence of self‐reported halitosis. Higher rates of dental caries are also associated with halitosis.

“…Our brains are wired to be social, to adapt to and to learn from the environment, and this is also the (negative) power of micro-geographic crime areas on neural substrates for (anti)social behaviours. Hot spots characterized by social disorder, crime and physical disorder are attributed to antisocial behaviour (Hart and Miethe 2015; Santana-Arias et al 2021) and thus constitute fertile ground for antisocial tendencies, which in turn act on the brain and affect behaviour. At the same time, it is important to keep in mind that, due to the complexity of the interrelationships between neurological and environmental determinants, studies focusing on only one of these components cannot comprehensively clarify the causes and foundations of antisocial behaviour.…”

Antisocial behaviour arises from a complex interplay of innate and environmental factors, with the brain’s adaptability to shifting environmental demands playing a pivotal role. An important but scantly studied environmental factor – micro-geographic hot spots of crime – covers a broad array of problems that produce frequent triggers for antisocial behaviour. Despite the established influence of neural substrates and various environmental factors on antisocial behaviour, the impact of residing in high-risk, violent crime hot spots in Israel, as well as other global locales, remains understudied. This paper aims to elucidate the intricate interplay between neurobiological mechanisms and crime hot spots in the context of antisocial behaviour. Its objectives are twofold: first, to acquaint researchers with the existing literature on the subject; and second, to catalyse further research and robust discourse in this domain. The article commences by reviewing the behavioural manifestations of antisocial tendencies within the framework of crime hot spots. Subsequently, it delves into the influence of crime hot spots on neurocognitive substrates, particularly emphasizing their impact on developmental trajectories associated with antisocial tendencies and the expression of antisocial behaviours. In closing, the paper offers implications and conclusions pertinent to crime hot spots in Israel.

“…Spatiotemporal co-location pattern mining refers to the process of analyzing and discovering patterns of cooccurrence between entities of distinct types, in both space and time.Such patterns can provide valuable insights into the relationship and behavior of entities over time. Co-location pattern mining discovery has applications in various domains such as urban facility planning [1], criminology [2], to discover the diseases in neighbourhood [3]. Co-location patterns were studied to examine relationship between air pollutants emission in the neighbourhood and child cancer cases [4], hotspot detection in [5], road networks [6] and many more.…”

Colocation pattern mining approaches aim at discovering neighboring relationships of distinct spatial features in geographic and temporal space.With big spatio-temporal dataset, there is large number of patterns often discovered. Then it is of importance to discover meaningful and patterns of interest which come as an aid in applications in use for humans and commercial use. To discover interesting patterns, we present in this article a co-location pattern mining algorithmic framework by considering neighbourhood, clustering, hashing, and mining methods. Neighbourhood relationship describes the closeness between the entities. The results of neighbourhood could be varied by varying the distance threshold. These objects exhibiting neighbouring entities are grouped using clustering technique. Clustering is a classical research approach that produces grouping of the entities. A clustering technique has been presented in the paper for spatio-temporal dimension that offers the advantage of faster grouping based on the neighbourhood relationship. Finally, a hash structure is utilized for faster access and retrieval of patterns. The proposed mining algorithm along with the distance and time threshold efficiently discovers the interesting spatio-temporal patterns and validates the patterns. The experiment conducted shows that the proposed co-location algorithm method yields effective and efficient outcome.
