Competing Risks Analysis on Times to Commit Crimes
  A trivariate Weibull survival model using competing risks concept is applied on studying recidivism of committing 3 types of crimes - sex, violent and others. The assumption of independence of time to commit each type of crimes is relaxed so that the association of the time to recidivism between any two types of crimes can be evaluated. We found that the correlation of time to recidivism between sex crimes and violent crimes are more correlated than other pairs. Probability of experiencing a charged arrest of other crimes is greater than a charged arrest of violent crimes followed by a charged arrest of sex crimes for an individual after release.
