Surveillance, Evaluation, Research,Validation, and Exploitation
EPSRC funded and led by experts in environmental criminology (Professor Alex Hirschfield) and visual cognition (Professor Tom Troscianko), SERVE is a multi-disciplinary Network of academics, practitioners and end users whose aim is to identify innovative applications of surveillance technology for detecting and preventing crime. The primary focus of the SERVE Network is to maximise the effectiveness of emerging technology by linking what is possible to do technically with what is required organisationally and tactically. The SERVE Network pioneers an integrated approach to crime by combining the skill and expertise of vision scientists with an understanding of how criminal opportunities arise and are exploited by offenders (environmental criminology) and how action can be taken to close these off (situational crime prevention). The SERVE Network seeks to explore all aspects of surveillance: technical capabilities and limitations, anticipated uses and the criminological assumptions underpinning them, deployment and targeting (people, property, places), the needs and abilities of end users, the socio-environmental context and ethics.
