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.

High impact crime
Crimes that not only have a serious impact on the victim or victims, but also on the local community or surrounding area are considered to be high impact crimes (HIC). For example, burglary, robbery, violence, assault, murder and kidnapping are all regarded as high impact crimes. These crimes can have a direct influence on the safety and security feeling (also known as ontological security) of individuals who were witnesses of the crime and can affect various societal areas. Seen that the impact of these crimes is relatively high, individuals who commit high impact crime offences usually obtain longer sentences.
Interventions include punishing the perpetrators, improving their prospects for the future, prevent younger brothers and sisters from following their bad example. By using predictive profiling, abnormal or risky behaviour can be signalled to prevent HIC. Limit alcohol abuse, use of surveillance cameras, de-escalating behaviour, gun control, police patrolling, citizen policing, preventive measures such as locks & lighting, use of social media to find perpetrators and other measures are used to limit HIC.
