This paper surveys aspects of mathematical modelling of the relation between police agencies, victims and criminals. The competition is modelled by a dynamic game. The initial number of offenders permits to establish policies considering its relation with a threshold \(N_C\) that represents a critical level. The policies may be derived from the steady-state equilibrium. The optimal path obtained from the analysis is given in a figure. Multiple equilibria may occur. A three persons non zero dynamic game is the proposed model. It is related with other population dynamic problems. Some results in particular cases are discussed. The interested readers may use the large list of references given in the paper. It enhances to obtain the needed additional information on this problem. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0930.00096].
