Safety is anticipating.

The theme of justice and security affects virtually all aspects of our society. It encompasses a wide range of topics in which societal, legal, and technological developments constantly influence each other. New technologies create both opportunities and risks. Governments are faced with complex choices, needing to weigh different interests, implementation issues, and societal effects against each other.

The researchers at Dialogic can support governments in this with thorough research and advice. Some ways in which we do this include:

• Monitoring and evaluation of policies. Good monitoring and evaluation are desirable for government policy accountability. Dialogic has conducted various policy evaluations in the realm of justice and security in recent years, such as for the Remote Gambling Act, the Certificate of Good Conduct Act, and the Dutch National Cyber Security Strategy (NCSS). With extensive experience in various evaluation methods across different sectors, Dialogic has the right skills to support policymakers.
• Mapping markets, sectors, and practical policies. Dialogic also carries out research that maps the nature and scope of different markets and sectors. Having visibility on phenomena and individuals often overlooked is essential for effective policy. For example, we recently mapped the nature and scope of ransomware and online fraud among businesses, and provided insights into the market of sex work advertising platforms. Additionally, we research the implementation of new policy instruments in practice, such as with the Implementation Assessment.
• Data-driven research. We support policymakers in better understanding complex issues and making informed decisions. We combine expertise with innovative research methods, starting from the principle of data-driven research. At Dialogic, we have extensive experience with data and AI solutions. Our data specialists are also highly skilled in using CBS microdata.
