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.

Public sense of security/safety
The public sense of security or safety in a society is a separate phenomenon than the actual level of measurable security and safety. It is merely the social or personal perception of security and safety, also known as ontological security. Institutional or governmental trust, financial stability and a stable living environment are some of the factors that play a role in determining ontological security. Furthermore, a lack of a sense of safety, or conversely, the presence of a sense of safety, is an important measurement for societal trust.
When people experience a positive sense of security and safety, they are more likely to engage in business activities, cooperate better and trust more. Therefore, it is foundational for the functioning of a healthy society. When communities lack a sense of security and safety, businesses and capital can disappear, individuals can become radicalised and societal issues and conflicts can arise. Increasing the number of armed police officers or security cameras may increase the objective security while at the same time decrease the public sense of security. The sense of security is most often measured with questionnaires, while objective security is mostly measured with incident reports.
