ReSCU focuses on three main areas, being resilience, security (against the threat of the invisible) and civil unrest, by identifying the underlying causes and, consequences of, and potential solutions to these interacting themes.
The ReSCU R&I Lab provides a comprehensive understanding of the societal challenges and threats faced by Dutch society and offers (often evidence-based) solutions to promote safety, security and well-being for all citizens. The Lab brings together experts from various fields, including criminology, sociology, psychology, public administration, anthropology, communication and organisation sciences, law (enforcement), and policy-making, to collaborate and develop innovative solutions.
