Abstract
This chapter can be seen as a sequel to Chap. 10, where the qualitative analysis of texts from police investigations about a criminal network was transformed into a conceptual model of the dynamics that led to the violent breakdown of this network. This conceptual model was transformed and formalised into a simulation model, which is described in this chapter. Subsequently, results gained from simulation experiments with the model are presented.

Note that the following description slightly deviates from the story developed in the simulation: In the simulation the agents reason about the aggression. In contrast here, there is immediate shooting, which might be regarded as ‘ad-hoc’ reasoning. Similar events can be found in descriptions of other cases of fight between criminals as for instance the Sicilian Cosa Nostra (Arlacchi, 1993).

The space characters (‘…’) indicate that two different in vivo codes (at different parts of the original text) had been used.
