D2.1 The Changing Face of Urban Security Research

A Review of Accumulated Learning

Authors: Adam Crawford, Susan Donkin & Christine A. Weirich

The Full Review is intended to provide an overview and analysis of the accumulated knowledge developed through research over the last thirty years of urban security. Particular emphasis is accorded to the four IcARUS focus areas: (1)preventing juvenile delinquency; (2) preventing radicalisation leading to violent extremism; (3) preventing and reducing trafficking and organised crime; and (4) designing and managing safe public spaces.

In addition, specific attention and consideration is given to four cross-cutting themes that animate the IcARUS project: (1) governance and diversification of actors; (2) technological change; (3) gender; and (4) transnational and cross-border issues.

D1.3 Results from Cross-Training Task

This report presents the results from the cross-training task in Design Thinking Methodology. It constitutes the output of the training sessions that were carried out in order to familiarise the consortium partners with the Design Thinking methodology and gain practical experience on how to implement Design Thinking.

D1.1 Methodology for the Adoption of Design Thinking in Urban Security and Crime Prevention Initiatives

This report focuses on the adoption of the Design Thinking approach related to urban security and crime prevention. It aims at providing the theoretical ground on where to build the innovative methodology addressing urban security and crime prevention initiatives. The spotlight in this report is upon the theoretical path to follow for devising effective solutions: the aim of this proposed framework is not to provide practical assistance for urban security instruments.
