   Sophisticated Agent-Based Model of Human

   Hi all,   
      
   I'm a first year PhD student, and I'm interested in creating an   
   agent-based model of crime (probably burglary). I'd like to create a   
   model which can predict where offenders will travel to when they commit   
   a crime. The main aim is to implement realistic human behaviour into   
   the agents which could lead to hypotheses about how offenders behave in   
   the real world, what effects the built environment have on their target   
   choice and how victim behavoiur affects crime.   
      
   Anyway I'm struggling to find any literature which deals with   
   implementing sophisticated human behaviour into agents, ideally in a   
   social-science context. I was wondering if anyone knows of any work   
   that might be useful to me.   
      
   Cheers,
