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.

Forensics
Forensic science, also known as criminalistics, is the application of science to criminal and civil laws. Forensics are mainly conducted on the criminal side, during criminal investigations, as governed by the legal standards of admissible evidence and criminal procedure. Forensic evidence can be used as a basis to convict people who are standing trial for a particular crime. This evidence can vary from fingerprints to blood samples to tire- and boot marks. Present-day technologies, such as laser scanners, drones and 3D reconstructions are used by forensic scientists to make the collection and analysis of objects more efficient. Besides submitting evidence, forensic scientists can be called in a trial to testify as an expert witness for both the prosecution and defence side.
Forensic scientists collect, preserve, and analyse scientific evidence during an (ongoing) investigation. Some forensic scientists occupy laboratory roles, meaning that they perform analyses on various objects that are collected from a crime scene. Others travel to crime scenes in order to collect and analyse objects on site. The forensic domain develops quickly and knows many sub-domains, including bloodstain pattern analysis, ballistics, forensic accounting, forensic DNA analysis, forensic pathology and forensic toxicology. More and more evidence can be found on digital devices (such as smartphones, laptops, servers, smart TVs and digital security camera's), since this is such a big category it has a label of it's own (digital forensics) and not included in this category.
