Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Crime/terror groups
There is no universal agreement on the definition of crime and terror groups. However, many international organisations and bodies have tried to provide more general descriptions that include overarching factors on which countries can agree. On the one hand, crime groups, also known as organised crime groups, are mostly regarded as groups of individuals that try to gain financial benefit through the use of criminal offenses. On the other hand, the description of a terror or terrorist group is more controversial and usually entails the identity of the actor (either governmental or non-governmental) and the nature of the criminal offense or type of violence. The type of violence can for example be religious in nature. Furthermore, what crime and terror groups have in common is that both include at least two individuals, with the aim to commit illegal offenses (either criminal or terrorist in nature).
