 |
|
 |
 |
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.

Sustain Our Nation 2009 |
|
|
|
|
Sustain our Nation (SoN) was a national competition run by the Audi Design Foundation (Sept 2009 - Feb 2010) for young designers that sought to encourage innovation to address the issues of Ageing population, Health, Finance, Crime, Energy & Climate change, via the creation of social enterprises through design. The aim was to catalyse solutions that addressed these national issues at a local level, working with communities to deliver sustainable change. Gamman and Thorpe (from Bikeoff) were on the expert panel for crime and presented at masterclass on 11th and 12th June 2009 at the Marlybone Hotel, London. Gamman presented Design Against Crime Overview which featured how to get smart quick on bike theft and Thorpe presented Design Resource: Definitions, Approaches and Processes which discusses DACRC’s social design process, developed primarily through the Bikeoff project. Gamman and Thorpe also presented at the Sustain Our Nation Think Tank in March 2009 to brief tutors ahead of the launch of the national competition.

American Society of Criminology Annual Conference. St Louis, USA. November 2008.
Lorraine Gamman, Shane Johnson, Aiden Sidebottom and Adam Thorpe of Bikeoff were invited to present the poster Design Against Crime: Reducing the Risk of Bicycle Theft at this conference.
The American Society of Criminology annual 2009 meeting, held in St. Louis, Missouri, featured sessions on evidence-based crime prevention, corporate crime prevention, violence and animal cruelty, school-based crime prevention and innovative approaches to crime prevention. Poster sessions were intended to present research in a format that is easy to scan and absorb quickly and was designed to facilitate more in-depth discussion of the research than is typically possible in a symposium format. The ‘Design Against Crime: Reducing the Risk of Bicycle Theft’ poster looked at recent research findings emanating from the BikeOff 2 project which aimed to better understand how cyclists lock their bicycles in public spaces and if targeted design-based interventions can reduce the likelihood of theft.
