Our expertise

Justice and Security

Every Dutch person wants to live in a safe society. The government contributes to this with legislation and policy. We support policymakers by substantiating and evaluating policy. We do this, among other things, through policy research and advice based on innovative research methods and data analyses.

Research for a just and safe society

Within the field of Justice and Safety, the topics we research at Dialogic vary widely. Here are a few examples:

  • (Online) gambling. Since the introduction of the Remote Gambling Act, (online) gambling has become an important societal theme. Over the past years, Dialogic has conducted various studies on this topic, such as research on promotional games of chance, occasional lotteries, and online gambling facilities. Our extensive experience with policy and law evaluations, coupled with our expertise in this area, culminated in our large-scale evaluation of the Remote Gambling Act in November 2024.
  • Prison system and crime. An important aspect of criminal justice is retribution, where an offender must be punished for a committed offence. Once the execution of the sentence has ended, an ex-offender must also safely reintegrate into society. We have experience in conducting (policy) research in both the implementation of a sentence and the reintegration into society. In these cases, we frequently utilise modern research techniques.
  • Data-driven research. For client WODC, Dialogic often conducts studies with a strong data component. This ranges from research on the dark web concerning ransomware groups to monitoring alcohol marketing for youths using social media bots.
