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.

COVID-19 has prompted a profound shift in the use of technology across justice systems internationally
The acceleration of digital and virtual justice
COVID-19 has prompted a profound shift in the use of technology across justice systems internationally. In the countries our global initiative focuses on – Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, Netherlands, the UK and the US – and indeed across the world, police, prosecutors, courts, prisons and probation or parole services increased their use of video-conferencing and remote working significantly. In England and Wales and states or provinces of Australia and Canada, preliminary court hearings (dealing with procedural matters before trial) became almost entirely virtual affairs.
