Design and security
No full textDesign – creativity deployed to a specific end – shapes innovative ideas to become practical and attractive propositions for users or customers. Security professionals need design for several reasons. Security products, secure buildings and security procedures need to be efficient, cost effective, reliable and durable in the face of ‘arms races’ with adaptive offenders against a background of continuous technological and social change. They must perform well whilst keeping adverse side effects to a minimum. Security moreover has to be delivered in a way which only minimally interferes with daily living and business activity, or conflicts with wider values ranging from sustainability to social inclusion. Security requirements have to be articulated clearly and inserted early in the design process to maximise available design options and to minimise costs and constraints; co-design between designers, security professionals and other stakeholders is the preferred way of working. This chapter describes how security and design inter-relate in all these ways and presents various conceptual and procedural frameworks to facilitate this understanding and underwrite the better design of security
Securing the knowledge
No full textKnowledge of practice is a vital part of any security capability, contributing to the quality of performance and our ability to keep up with adaptive offenders and changing social and technological context. It connects with, but goes beyond, the accepted understanding of an evidence-based approach. Management of practice knowledge has been significantly neglected, a shortcoming implicated in the implementation failure too often encountered in crime prevention/security programmes. This chapter covers the purpose and nature of security knowledge, its strengths and weaknesses, and its management. It concludes with examples of tools designed for sharing of crime prevention and security knowledge: the 5Is process model of crime prevention and security, and the Conjunction of Criminal Opportunity, a map of causes of criminal events and interventions to block those causes

CCTV: Reflections on its use, abuse and effectiveness
No full textIt is a pertinent time to reflect upon the use of CCTV. As some areas withdraw funding from their CCTV systems, others are expanding coverage and upgrading to Intelligent CCTV (ICCTV) or ‘smart’ CCTV supplemented with facial recognition and a range of other capabilities. Since the Metropolitan Police first installed CCTV cameras in Trafalgar Square in 1960 (Williams, 2003), CCTV as a crime control measure has become more complex. Indeed, technological developments have increased the array of possible uses but, at the same time, have also raised the number of issues that need to be managed. This chapter aims to chart the challenges facing the effective deployment and integration of CCTV into security responses. It will discuss the prevalence of CCTV, explore the evidence pertaining to whether it ‘works’ as a crime control technology and consider what the future for this much debated and controversial technology might hold. Although much of the research refers to CCTV, we also discuss visual data derived via other types of cameras and consider the rise of ‘sousveillance’ (Mann et al., 2003)
