Visit by Crime Scientists from Twente University, Netherlands 2010 |
|
|
|
|
A team of researchers from Twente University in the Netherlands visited the Design Against Crime Research Centre and Bikeoff team (12th Jan 2010). They are developing a Crime Science programme in Twente, incorporating a design strand and wished to learn about how DACRC, and our partners JDI, operated individually and collectively in this field. Prof Gamman and Reader Thorpe gave a presentation on design which included reference to the work of Bikeoff, and Prof Ekblom presented his crime frameworks, describing how they fit with design.

Thorpe, A., Johnson, S. D. and Sidebottom, A. (2009). Using targeted publicity to reduce opportunities for bicycle theft: A demonstration and replication. European Journal of Criminology. European Journal of Criminology, Vol. 6, No. 3, 267-286 (2009)
DOI: 10.1177/1477370809102168
Johnson (Co-I, Bikeoff 2) and Sidebottom (RA, Bikeoff 2) are from the Jill Dando Institute of Crime Science, UCL.
This paper was (unusually for the journal in question) accepted for publication without revision. A reviewer commented that [the paper] is well written and has clear scientific and policy value. Experiments are (still) relatively rare in criminology.” This comment highlights the scarcity of truly interdisciplinary work between design practitioners and criminologists and the esteem in which such rigorous and pragmatic research is held.
