In the Bag
Overview
In the bag is a Design Against Crime Research Lab (DACRL) research resource designed to help designers quickly understand issues related to pick-pocketing, bag theft, and the loss of personal items. It visually presents statistical and criminological data, combined with contextual information directly relevant to design.
The resource was bolstered by previous research DACRL had undertaken during practice-led projects including Grippa, Stop Thief and Karrysafe.
Outputs
The resource offers a thoroughly referenced research foundation for those interested in exploring the subject at an academic level. It addresses the challenge of designing out crime by providing insights that enable designers to be more creative than criminals. The resource helps designers create objects, environments, and services that address both users and potential abusers without stigmatising them.
In the bag aims to inspire designers by providing the right information to make a difference. It includes new design work inspired by the research and offers a range of takeaway DAC briefs that challenge designers to innovate and contribute to crime prevention.
