Security
Are we adequately protected against organized crime, criminal undermining of society, financial-economic crimes, cybercrime, terrorism? Is there sufficient support for victims of human trafficking, exploitation, and domestic violence? Are governments, police, and the judiciary cooperating well at the local, regional, national, and international levels? Our researchers approach these questions from different disciplines and in collaboration with partners in the field. The ultimate goal: a safer society.

Community Crime and Subversion
Subversive crime is a serious problem and is high on society’s agenda, not only in the Netherlands but also in Europe. A successful approach requires insight into criminal networks and coordinated action by governments and citizens. Tilburg University's aim is to contribute to the practical and scientific understanding of the problem and the development of action perspectives for society and its institutions. We do this from a wide range of scientific disciplines.
