Teaching Design Against Crime Event
Collaboration between University of Salford and North West Arts Board
Tuesday 4th April @ North West Arts Board, Bridge Street, Manchester,
Evening workshop, 7.00 - 10.00pm. (Tickets @ stlg7.50 covers refreshments)
The aim of this evening workshop, part of the Design Council's Design
in Education Week (3 - 7 April 2000), is to identify how designers
consider crime prevention during their work. We hope to
bring together participants who will have a broad range of
design-crime interests and understanding to discuss the issues of
integrating crime prevention considerations and strategies within HE
design courses. We intend to explore ways designers can contribute to
effective incentives of all those involved in product development to
take crime reduction into account.
The evening will comprise presentations followed by break out sessions
and will mix design-crime disciplines and levels of expertise
regarding design against crime concepts.
The workshop coincides with research on Teaching Design against Crime,
a collaboration between the University of Salford and Sheffield Hallam
University which is supported by the Design Council, DTI and the Home
Office. This study seeks to investigate how to increase designers
awareness to crime related aspects of design, and how to increase the
motivation for key decision makers to incorporate these aspects into
the design process.
