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.

Adult criminals
An adult criminal is regarded as an individual, above the age of eighteen (adult age), that has committed a criminal offense, which is punishable by law. There are various levels and terminologies in which adult criminals can be divided, depending on the type of crime, how many crimes the individual has committed and to what extent they are likely to commit another crime. Legalistic or technical offenders involve crimes that have no criminal intent and cause no harm at all. Situational offenders are individuals that are normally lawful but have committed a crime due to stress or provocation. Pathological offenders include individuals that have serious psychological or sociopathic problems, and therefore commit various crimes. Avocational offenders are individuals that take calculated risks in committing a crime, such as an individual that works in the stock market and trades with insider information. Lastly, career offenders are the types of individuals that repetitively show behaviour that is always in contrast with the law, or in violation with criminal law.
