David --

i wrote about treating terrorism as infectious disease back on Sep 13, see
http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/2001-09/msg00938.html

Memetic (and, consequently, epidemological) approach to treating social
ills is definitely worth to investigate further. On a lighter side, this
proposal sounds exactly like Isaac Asimov's "psychohistory" :)
