The Knowledge Hub Security and Social Resilience (in Dutch: Kenniswerkplaats Veiligheid & Veerkracht (KVV) assists the Dutch government and its ministries on the national level, as well as municipalities, the police force and security regions on the local level in their approach to security problems.
The knowledge hub focuses on complex issues such as social conflicts in neighbourhoods, enforcement and surveillance management, radicalisation, citizen participation, criminal infiltration, and how security is experienced. Working collaboratively with public-private partners towards co-created and custom-made policy and practice-oriented solutions, the knowledge hub aims to provide useful and novel insights, frameworks and tools. The research projects shed light on the social fabric and mechanisms that enable governments and society to adequately anticipate on new challenges and 'wicked problems'.
