Titolo : CITYCOP – CITIZEN INTERACTION TECHNOLOGIES YIELD COMMUNITY POLICING

Laboratory of Citizenship Sciences (LSC) is a partner of the consortium CITYCoP ("Citizen Interaction Technologies Yield Community Policing") (G.A. no. 653811), funded by the European Commission under Horizon 2020, and coordinated by the University of Groningen. The theories underlying community policing received new impetus with the recent advent of smartphones and social media and especially the notion of user-generated content where the users are citizens engaged in closer interaction with their local community and law enforcement agency. The five years 2010-2014 have seen a rapid upsurge of smartphone apps aimed at improving crime reporting and other forms of UGC and interaction associated with community policing. Within this framework, CITYCoP, started in June 2015, has the following objectives: 1. To analyse the social, cultural, legal and ethical issues that affect the building of trust in community policing through technology. 2. To identify and address previous failures/limitations in the use of technology in community policing by reviewing existing practices worldwide. 3. To understand how the use of technology in community policing models is received by law enforcement agencies and citizens in selected European cities and the factors that contribute to success in terms of building trust and improving crime reporting.
 4.To produce a uniquely European technical solution including a smartphone app and an on-line portal, which are capable of being deployed in every European city while still retaining the “local flavour” and diversity. 5. To develop a system with the aim to facilitate information sharing and trust building between citizens and law enforcement agencies and to pilot the CITYCoP system in four diverse major cities and their surroundings. 6. To train law enforcement agencies and citizens through serious gaming to facilitate the right information sharing that will allow to prevent, detect and prosecute criminal behaviour efficiently. 7. To carry out a complete data protection and ethical audit of the CITYCoP system.
 8. To develop a CITYCoP Toolkit that can be used by other cities inside and outside Europe which may want to adopt the CITYCoP system. LSC is responsible for the Work Package 3 (WP3) “The sociology of community policing”. This WP aims to explore the approaches of technology-based community policing from the Law Enforcement Agencies and societal perspective, and ensure criteria for the success of policing practices to be incorporated into the design of the CITYCoP system.
