Dear colleagues: [indulgence coveted for cross-posting]
Is the spate of throwing various foodstuffs onto art displayed in museum galleries late last year a "copycat crime" as defined on Criminology and Criminal Justice | Oxford Research Encyclopedias by Surette (2017)?

Thanks for thinking about these matters.
Respectfully yours
