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.

Wapenhandel
Er is sprake van levendige handel in vuurwapens, een trend die lastig te doorbreken blijkt: de doorloop is hoog, er is veel aanbod en kennelijk ook veel vraag naar zowel vuurwapens als munitie. Opvallend is de handel in gas- en alarmvuurwapens en de handel in gedeactiveerde wapens die na reactivatie veelal voor het tienvoudige verkocht worden. Nederland is een bestemmingsland, maar ook een draaischijf in de verhandeling van wapentuig.
