Data Governance, Security and Human Rights

Cutting Crime Impact (CCI): Collaboration in EU Horizon2020 Project. Gstrein, Bunnik, and Zwitter. From 10/2018-ongoing. The CCI is a 3-year project (started 1 October 2018) funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 Programme. The aim of the project is to enable police and relevant local and national authorities (i.e. security policymakers) to reduce the impact of crime and, where possible, prevent crime from occurring in the first place. The CCI project focuses on crimes that impact negatively on citizens and their communities — including violent assault, robbery, burglary and anti-social behaviour — and the feelings of insecurity that such problems can create. The CCI project will develop bespoke support tools, resources and guidance materials (what we term "toolkits"). These will enable police forces and policymakers in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Estonia, Portugal and Spain to implement effective practice. LEAs will gain valuable experience in requirements capture, problem framing, ideation, concept generation, solution design and prototyping that is transferable to other areas. See more here.
