听JDI tackles Public Trust
The Institute for Global City Policing (IGCP) is an independent centre based at the UCL Jill Dando Institute of Security and Crime Science, funded and managed in partnership with the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC).
JDI tackles Extremism听
In 2012 the JDI established the counter-terrorism research group. Working with practitioner agencies we conduct research on terrorist behaviour, focusing on the situational qualities of every stage.听We focus on the settings in which radicalisation takes place, asking not 鈥渨ho and why鈥�, but 鈥渨ho and where鈥�. We examine the antecedent behaviours of these individuals to identify observable and detectable behavioural indicators.
JDI tackles Forensic Science
The UCL Centre for the Forensic Sciences is an interdisciplinary initiative with members across the university and industry. We aim to create real world impact in the forensic sciences through our research and teaching, and by collaborating with practitioners, policy makers and others.
