The conclusion of the INDEED project and the 2nd International Policy & Practitioners Forum was an extensive and significant event. 🎉 It featured 12 thematic sessions, with over 45 speakers participating. As the organisers and coordinators of the project, we would like to express our sincerest thanks to everyone involved in the organisation 🙏, the participants, and most of all, the speakers! 👏 We invite you to read a short summary on our website: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dDv-yPP3 #radicalisation #evaluation

Criminals are quick to use and adapt technology to their advantage. It must be assessed how police can equally leverage the capacities of the technology to fulfil their duties in this domain, taking into account their limited resources and the need to remain in compliance with national and European law. Check out the white paper that discusses three of the main current legal challenges in open source investigations of CSAE on the dark web, common to LEAs across the EU. It is the result of an EU-wide legislation monitoring activity of the #ARICAproject https://lnkd.in/dnYuEMgm #osint #counteringCSAE

ℹ️ Whether we like it or not, the vast majority of us leave digital traces. Paying by cards, withdrawing money from an ATM, using a phone, or being recorded by a camera in a public place – all of this can serve as evidence when investigating suspects. 🚨 Compared to the situation just a few decades, or even years ago, law enforcement seems to be in an ideal position. However, as we explain in the article below, the development of technology and the increasing variety of data types present significant challenges for the authorities. Is our safety at risk as a result? 🔎 Read more in the article on our website: https://lnkd.in/dkHEH6KS ⬅️ If you're interested in criminal analysis and intelligence, visit the page of the upcoming CINTiA 2024 conference dedicated to this topic: https://lnkd.in/eQ2bJhK8 #CriminalAnalysis #Safety #Privacy #LawEnforcement

🤔 What is the best way to develop skills? There are probably a few, but setting new goals is certainly one of the top ones. A few months ago, we decided to create a collective publication entirely within PPHS – focusing on one of the strategic topics of our activity, inviting our experts to cooperate and preparing the publication on our own. It was a huge challenge, but ultimately... that is how "Platform. Knowledge–needs–solutions" on #CounteractingRradicalisation was created. Today we can proudly present it to you. 🥳 👉 https://lnkd.in/dF5Ha3tD It is a subjective selection of important matters from a broad field of counteracting and preventing radicalisation processes. It presents social phenomena, European initiatives and innovative tools that everyone dealing with this subject should know. It is available in both Polish and English, thanks to which it brings the global state of knowledge closer to Polish practitioners and policymakers, as well as shares the Polish perspective beyond the borders of our country. We will be very pleased if you decide to check out our new work. We believe that it is worth devoting a few minutes to it. 🙌 We will also be extremely grateful for your opinions and help in reaching those who may be interested in the knowledge included in the publication. This is the first edition, but we already know that we will not stop there. 🛫 PS The second photo presents the majority of our authors gathered during the INDEED project final event in Warsaw, that is taking place right now.

Relationships are key to development. That is why we are starting the three-day event concluding the INDEED project with getting to know each other and talking over afternoon coffee. ☕ We are about to start a series of presentations and panel discussions focused on countering radicalisation, with a room full of experts, practitioners and representatives of organizations that have been dealing with this issue for many years. We are honoured to host this group in Warsaw! These will be very intense days!
