Copycat crime
A copycat crime is a criminal act that is modeled or inspired by a previous crime that has been reported in the media or described in fiction.
==Copycat effect==
The "copycat effect" is the tendency of sensational publicity about violent murders or suicides to result in more of the same through imitation.〔Loren Coleman, (2004) (''The copycat effect: How the media and popular culture trigger the mayhem in tomorrow's headlines'' ), Simon and Schuster, NY.〕
The term was first coined around 1916 due to the crimes that were inspired by Jack the Ripper. Due to the increase of replicated crimes, criminologists soon began to realize that media coverage played a role in inspiring other criminals to commit crimes in a similar fashion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://hunteremkay.com/2012/04/c-is-for-copycat-effect/ )〕
There is also a book written by Loren Coleman called ''The Copycat Effect'' that describes the effect that the media has on crimes and suicides, which are inspired by crimes that have been widely covered across the media. Coleman's view on the media is that the constant coverage of these events, rather than the events with a positive message, gives these criminals a type of fame. The five minutes of fame, book or movie that is dedicated to these criminals provokes individuals with a tendency to behave in a similar way. Due to this type of fame, the "copycat effect" takes place.〔Loren Coleman, (2004) (''The copycat effect: How the media and popular culture trigger the mayhem in tomorrow's headlines'' ), Simon and Schuster, NY.〕
