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.

The utilisation of tracking and sensing technologies in criminal investigations
Tracking and sensing technologies, such as image recognition and language processing, provide additional information for criminal investigations. Such data forms the basis for many criminal investigations. Whilst this data can aid in finding a just outcome for an investigation, the analysis of huge volumes of data has proven to be difficult.
Similarly, tracking and sensing technologies provide benefits regarding crime prevention and efficiency. But at the same time, these technologies also raise questions regarding criminal justice system legitimacy and civil liberties.

A broadening information space.
Improvements in data capture and storage, mean that the average domestic crime scene in many countries already requires the seizure of at least eight connected devices holding vast volumes of information. More powerful tracking and sensing technologies (including natural language processing and image recognition) are also exponentially increasing additional information that can be added to any case file. This data now forms the starting point for a criminal investigation. And while this information can dramatically increase the chances of a just outcome for any investigation, our interviewees across the
justice system are already pointing out the difficulty of digesting and analyzing huge volumes of data at every stage of the criminal justice process.
Surveillance and tracking likewise offers significant crime prevention and efficiency benefits. But it raises questions for civil liberties and criminal justice system legitimacy. And examples of high-profile unintended consequences from new technologies (for example, bias in early predictive policing and facial recognition technology) have raised the importance of engaging in ethical debates and safeguarding rights.
As the information space grows, it is also democratizing – with more people able to produce, share and access information from increasingly disparate sources. This can be an opportunity for law enforcement via better crowd-source intelligence, but
it can also pose a risk through viral dissemination of misinformation and unrest.
