Abstract
Bank robbery has been the subject of numerous criminological investigations which have focused on characteristics of the crime and the offender. What has been neglected in criminological research, however, is the escape behavior of criminals after robberies. This is of particular importance to the police, who expend considerable resources including the deployment of many patrolmen, in order to apprehend fleeing robbers. In particular, a special police tactic involving a circular blockade around the crime site (Ringalarmfahndung) is now routinely activated.
