“Solving crime problems so that they stay solved” with Dr. Matt Ashby, Lecturer in Crime Science at University College London
Organizations large and small rely on professional security consultants to advise them on how best to stop security threats that affect their businesses. Responses to security problems must be effective, but they should also be sustainable – when a response is put in place, it should keep working even after the Organization has moved onto the next challenge. Problem solving techniques can help identify security measures that will solve crime problems in a way that means they stay solved. This presentation will explain how security consultants can make sure that the solutions they propose are both effective and sustainable. Central to this is using problem analysis to identify the unique features of each security problem, because decades of evidence on crime prevention shows that responses that are tailored to a specific problem are much more likely to be effective than generic responses. The presentation will also highlight common pitfalls that make it harder to produce sustainable reductions in crime.
