This resource has been created to help creative professionals understand more about how design can be used to combat crime. It is a practical guide that will give design practitioners, clients, educators and students useful information about how the design of products, services and communications can help to prevent crimes occurring, lessen their impact, aid the recovery of stolen items or help apprehend offenders.
Through a series of tools, models and methodologies, it will help designers of all disciplines to find out more about understanding users and abusers, think creatively about solutions to the social challenges that crime presents and apply foresight when considering how the products and services they create will be used and misused.
