The use of the first simulative methods in the social sciences dates back to the 1950s and 1960s, but its growth and real diffusion was in the early nineties. This method has however been coupled with traditional methods of research for the study of criminal phenomena only in recent times. Surpassing the traditional statistical technique of logistic regression, this type of model has proved to be suitable for capturing complex and non-linear systems, such as crime. The recent increase of simulative modeling in criminology has led to the creation of numerous models, of which a comprehensive overview is provided.
