Cardiff University has launched a ground-breaking innovation institute which aims to tackle the new threats in crime, security, and community safety being generated by the datafication of society and spread of disinformation. Cardiff University is proud to officially launch the Security, Crime, and Intelligence Innovation Institute. The Institute brings together world-leading inter-disciplinary research units to develop innovative solutions to the problems of crime, global security, and social control. The Institute's interdisciplinary design brings experts from different academic disciplines, including criminology, computer science, strategic communications, and behavioural science, to tackle real-world challenges. Its experts are dedicated to designing and delivering creative solutions targeted towards some of our most urgent public safety and security challenges, and to help shape significant changes to policy and practice locally, nationally, and internationally. The Institute's work is based around 4 key themes: Policing - the Universities' Police Science Institute is working with policing agencies nationally and internationally to trial and test policy and practice innovations to improve the prevention of, and responses to, crime. Violence - the Violence Research Group has a significant international reputation and experience of conducting methodologically sophisticated evidence-based studies, that leverage real world impact in terms of violence reduction.
