SYSTEMIC NEEDS
Development and verifi cation of models for social dynamics of groups with high levels of
dissatisfaction. Stabilizing and destabilizing triggers have to be traced. Special attention
to the direct and indirect signals of unsatisfi ed groups to the society in several stages
of a radicalisation process could create the basis for new early warning systems and
interventions.
Development of models for the social processes contributing to the originating of personal
criminal intentions and alignment with other persons with criminal intentions. Special
attention to the direct and indirect signals of growing criminal intentions could create the
basis for new early warning options and proper interventions.
To acknowledge the divisions of society and the discrimination which some groups face
on a daily basis – and to develop, or eff ectively apply existing, anti-discriminatory laws and
measures.
To develop, implement and support positive education, employment, careers, housing,
family measures towards fi rst-, second-, third-generation, etc. immigrants without provoking
extremism in the rest of society (See Working Group 11 report on radicalisation)
Analysis of mechanisms with respect to solidarities between citizens from various parts
of town and of society, and making social and societal barriers more porous. This analysis
should result in a methodology for the development of practical measures, e.g. concerning
the integration of newcomers by presentation of the local cultural values and activities
allowing all members of society to participate.
LEGISLATION Thorough assessments for development of European law enforcement strategies.
A COMMON EUROPEAN
STRUCTURE FOR
COOPERATION BETWEEN
ACTORS INVOLVED IN
URBAN SECURITY
A common, adaptive, general, legal, conceptual, practical European framework should
be developed to insure eff ective, cost-effi cient, integrated, coordinated and synergetic
horizontal (across public agencies, private services and civil organizations) and vertical
(between various levels of government, from local to regional, through national and
European) cooperation of all actors in Urban Security, including the inhabitants and
those that are part of the “problems” – fostering dialogue, mutual understanding, close
cooperation and recognition.
The following elements of this framework should be developed:
A cartography of national and European Urban Security Risk zones and a European
network of Local Urban Security Observatories
Methods for monitoring of the subjective feelings of citizens in residential areas
Models describing the dependency of urban security from a spectrum of parameters
(e.g. population characteristics, local distribution of welfare, concentration of unoccupied
houses, presence of shops, levels of illumination, intensity of surveillance by authorities,
organized public panels for surveillance, special instructions and education for citizens
concerning security)
An architecture for supporting the development of security policy by specifi c authorities
with optimal involvement of societal stakeholders (including citizens). This architecture
should make available information systems, models, simulation features and approaches
applied elsewhere
Facilities for Concept Development and Experimentation for supporting the participation
of stakeholders in the design of solutions for specifi c challenges
