 ==Properties of crowds==
-* Crowds are characterized by the fact that they are disorganized and many people are close together. This makes it hard for both people in the crowd and people outside the crowd to have an overview of the actions of an individual. These are circumstances criminals can take advantage of, as there are potentially many victims and the chances of being caught are slim.
