The influence of time on the dynamics of crime: integrating kozyrev's temporal flows into the homeokinetic approach in criminology

Abstract

This article examines the integration of Nikolai Kozyrev's theory of time into the homeokinetic approach for analyzing the dynamics of crime as an open system of interaction within the "criminal-victim-environment" triad. It demonstrates that time in this context acts not as a passive backdrop but as an active modulator of flows of matter, energy, and information that shape criminal events. The theoretical foundations, practical cases with statistical trends, and critical limitations of the approach are explored. New directions for research and preventive strategies are proposed, taking into account temporal dynamics. This text was edited with the assistance of AI Grok 5.
