Trends in Security
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.

AI and criminal justice system
Advancements in AI are coming to and will increasingly play a role in crime prevention and the criminal justice system in the years ahead. The potential of the AI for law enforcement, legal professionals, the court system and even in penal system to augment human capabilities is enormous. However, we need to overcome the challenges that come with these technologies, as well as to develop entirely new approaches, standards and metrics that will be necessitated by them.

AI must work as an instrument to the service of humanity and not as a double-edged sword that might turn against us.
we propose a way of making a judicial control in the concrete case of the implementation of new technologies under the existing legal principles, ensuring, in such way, that rationality would not be overlooked. Scientific advances should be adapted to Criminal Law and not the other way around. That is to say, these should be integrated in such a way that they would not hinder the legal foundations which were built around the respect for Human Rights.
The arrival of systems that collect, process, analyse and interpret rapidly large amounts of information is a reality which undoubtedly carries important benefits, albeit with certain risks, among which we should emphasize the following: a) by implementing them, certain fundamental Human Rights result disproportionately affected; b) they may be potentially used by criminal or terrorist groups; and c) in a more apocalyptic level, a reckless development of them might culminate in a point of no return which may jeopardize human survival.
Determining which rights should be protected and which rights should be affected when using an efficient AI program. Three steps are proposed for this balancing test: a) to define the affectation degree of one of the principles or rights, b) to assess the importance of satisfaction of the opposite principle / right and c) to define if the importance of the opposite principle / right satisfaction justifies the restriction of the first one.
