Research
Our research aims to anticipate how technological or social change might create new opportunities for offending, and to propose methods for addressing these problems before they become established. Research will focus on a mixture of evolving current crimes, new crimes about which little is known, and crimes that are likely to emerge in the near or medium- to long-term time horizons.
