Dutch Institute for Safe and Secure Spaces

As founder and director of the Dutch Institute for Safe and Secure Spaces (DISSS), I try to bring in expertise regarding the protection of public spaces, environmental criminology and investigative criminology. At Stichting DISSS, we focus on collaborating in multiple helix and multi-disciplinary co-creation projects and collaborations across Europe. In these social and technological innovation projects DISSS will be active from idea, via research & development, to business development and operational implementation and education/knowledge exchange. DISSS is inspired by Stichting DITSS which will be terminated end 2022. .

Dutch Institute for Technology, Safety and Security

The Dutch Institute for Technology, Safety and Security (DITSS), to which I am affiliated, coordinates and contributes to EU projects concerning the protection of public spaces, innovative solutions to prevent crimes and other projects in which we can work together with EU Member States in order to contribute to a safer society for EU citizens.

Investigative Criminology

When I was ten years old, I already knew I wanted to learn about the psychology of what drives a person to commit a crime. Growing up I've always been fascinated by peoples' stories and their behavior and the motivations behind specific behavior. I decided to follow my (investigative) gut and applied for my Criminology Bachelor's Degree at the Free University of Amsterdam.

The Free University not only taught me how to crawl into a perpetrators mind, it also showed me how to facilitate the organizations that have been assigned the very fulfilling task of preventing and mitigating threats against the public.

During my studies I specialized in environmental criminology and geographical profiling. Using geographical software, analists can detect patterns in the geographical and temporal behavior of human beings. Very bluntly explained, each human being moves in the same way within the same "mental map" of their physical environment. If we can identify certain elements or locations within that mental map, we can determine a search radius to find the individual or predict their most likely next crime scene radius.
