CRIME & JUSTICE
DACRL is informed by and aligned with an awareness that disruption of crime and radical creative change often emerge as a result of the inclusion of diverse voices.
Our team adopt a user, misuser and abuser driven innovation approach that includes diverse communities in the co-creation process, including government departments, businesses, local communities, prisoners and returning citizens.
This approach has generated a strong socially responsive design methodology (Gamman & Thorpe 2006; 2011; 2016 and 2018) as well as co-created design benchmarks, crime prevention strategies and crime diversion projects.
PUBLIC
SOCIAL
INNOVATION
Our design research through the Public Collaboration Lab (PCL) started as an 18-month AHRC-funded research partnership between the London Borough of Camden and University of the Arts London and has gone on to develop a ‘living lab’ approach to social innovation.
Its research-led collaborative design practice explores the potential value of strategic collaboration between local government and design education, generating a suite of projects where student engagement with the local community through collaborative design, including some funded engagements, has produced numerous outputs.

PUBLIC
SPACE
Emerging from the Crime and Justice research strand, a Public Space focus is linked to the recognition that more pro-social public spaces are required to assist in the reduction of crime.
