CREST: Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats

Lead Research Organisation: Lancaster University
Department Name: Psychology

Abstract

The social sciences have made important contributions to our understanding of security threats and the skills and technologies that can mitigate them. However, these contributions have yet to achieve their full impact on practice for two reasons. First, they draw on a diverse set of disciplinary perspectives and epistemologies, and are rarely understood holistically. As a result, there remains much to be learned from their systematic integration. Second, many contributions have been made without a full appreciation of the challenges and constraints faced by the security and intelligence agencies. There is thus a need to facilitate researcher-stakeholder exchanges that promote understanding and empower researchers to make impactful contributions.

The Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (CREST) will deliver a world-class, interdisciplinary portfolio of activity that maximises the value of social science to countering threats to national security. CREST brings together leading researchers from seven disciplines, government and industry stakeholders, and communication specialists to coordinate an international network of excellence that delivers five Agendas. These Agendas seek to enhance the skills and understanding of agency practitioners, develop capacity and capability in academia, build mutual understanding between stakeholders and academia, and maximise the impact of social science research and analysis.

The KNOWLEDGE SYNTHESIS AGENDA will deliver state-of-the-art reviews that address key stakeholder questions by mapping out the evidence base and by providing policy and 'best practice' recommendations. Each participating Institution will lead one of five programmes: Actors and narratives; Ideas, beliefs and values in social context; Understanding and countering online behaviour; Eliciting information; and, Protective security and risk assessment.

The ORIGINAL RESEARCH AGENDA will build on Knowledge Synthesis by generating theoretically motivated, high-quality new research that either addresses gaps identified in the existing literature, or demonstrates the operational relevance of existing knowledge to stakeholder contexts.

As part of the Knowledge Synthesis and Original Research Agendas, £1.89m of CREST's funds will support COMMISSIONED ACTIVITIES, including synthetic reviews, workshops, toolkit development, and research projects. Funds will be allocated via a transparent and competitive process that delivers scientific excellence, stakeholder relevance, and value for money.

With support from an Advisory Board and Programme Ambassadors, the COMMUNICATION AGENDA will use a range of innovative media (e.g. video briefings, interactive toolkits) to ensure that outputs from the Knowledge Synthesis and Original Research Agendas are communicated effectively to a range of audiences. Target audiences include intelligence officers to improve operational effectiveness, policy makers to support evidence-based policy, industry to help generate sector growth, and the public at large to increase awareness of the challenges faced within the UK.

The NETWORKING AGENDA will deliver a range of events (e.g. workshops, 'hackathons') that support interaction between research and stakeholder communities at both strategic and grass-roots levels. These events will draw together a community of contributors leading to new and innovative contributions to theory and practice.

The CAPACITY-BUILDING AGENDA will ensure the long-term sustainability of CREST while also delivering a step-change in capability in three areas: (1) the next generation of researchers and educators within the discipline (e.g. through PhD training); (2) the formal professional development of officers in the intelligence agencies (e.g. through online training, secondments); and, (3) the economic effectiveness of industry (e.g. SMEs) through knowledge exchange

The funding for this grant comes in part from the UK security and intelligence agencies.

Planned Impact

CREST's activities are designed to bring a step change in the understanding and evidence base available to stakeholders and public audiences. The KNOWLEDGE SYNTHESIS AGENDA will deliver state-of-the-art reviews framed to address stakeholder questions, while the ORIGINAL RESEARCH AGENDA will develop this evidence base in areas identified by stakeholders as being of the uppermost importance. The COMMUNICATIONS and NETWORK AGENDAS provide the platform for wide impact both by guaranteeing that existing research reaches its beneficiaries and by promoting new dialogues between parties interested in a range of practice and policy issues.

Benefits

The benefits of CREST's activities include:
- More Informed Decisions. Our KNOWLEDGE SYNTHESIS AGENDA will translate research evidence into practical insights that stakeholders can easily use
- Improved Accountability. The evidence base provided by our outputs will strengthen the basis on which stakeholders form their practices and policies
- New Practices. Our ORIGINAL RESEARCH AGENDA will develop practices that are more effective and efficient (e.g. for interviewing)
- Better Value for Money. By documenting the basis of our guidance, stakeholders can consider their local constraints and identify the solution most appropriate for them
- Public Reassurance. Sharing knowledge about the effectiveness of security practices (in ways that do not compromise security) will help the public gain an understanding of, and confidence in, the work of the responsible agencies

Beneficiaries

The UK SECURITY AND INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, the National Crime Agency, the Research, Information and Communications Unit (RICU), and the Police Services of the UK and Northern Ireland are the principal beneficiaries. The Actors and Narratives and Ideas, Beliefs and Values in Social Context Programmes will enhance investigators' understanding of the aetiology of extremism and other threats. The Understanding and Countering Online Behaviour and Eliciting Information Programmes will improve a range of investigative and operational capabilities in face-to-face and online contexts. The Protective Security and Risk Assessment Programme will enhance the tools and evidence available to the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure and wider commerce seeking to protect against threats.

INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES, particularly those within the 5EYES community, will also benefit in the ways described above. For example, the Eliciting Information Programme will make significant contributions to practice within the FBI's High-Value Interrogation Group. Similarly, the Ideas, Beliefs and Values in Social Context Programme will support the Australian Government's 2014 CVE programme and its emphasis on working with communities.

POLICY MAKERS tasked with delivering the UK Government's CONTEST strategy, particularly the PURSUE and PREVENT pillars, will benefit from original research that sheds light on effective, ethical methods of investigation and prevention. They will also benefit from opportunities to solicit expert feedback at CREST's networking events.

RESEARCH UNITS/LABORATORIES such as Dstl will benefit in two main ways. First, the Knowledge Synthesis outputs will reduce the need for in-house reviewing, expediting project start-up times and freeing resource for classified research. Second, our original research findings will provide 'benchmarks' against which to evaluate in-house solutions, while the data itself may provide a 'test standard' for evaluating new solutions offered by vendors.

SMALL-MEDIUM ENTERPRISES developing technologies relevant to national security will benefit from the opportunities for engagement provided by our Network Agenda, as well as opportunities for accessing academic excellence provided by our Capacity-Building Agenda. They will particularly gain from engaging in offered collaborative studentships, which will facilitate access to world-class research at low cost.

Description CREST's objectives were detailed in the 2-year funding continuation plan.

4.1 Address key stakeholder questions by reviewing the state-of-the-art
Both our core programmes and commissioned work delivered synthetic reviews this year, in part because the Home Office sponsored commissioning round called for rapid evidence syntheses. One positive development this year has been the sharing of methodologies and tools for the syntheses across projects (e.g., Gabbert, Moncur), saving resources and assuring best practice. We have also reached the maturity where several researchers published review articles that summarise lessons learned from prior empirical research sponsored by CREST and others (e.g., Brown et al., Thomas et al.).

4.2 Undertake theoretically motivated, high-quality new research
The research teams in 5 core programmes and 18 new commissioned projects continued their innovative research. Their work and the continuing efforts of previous years has resulted in 30 new peer-reviewed publications, which sit alongside numerous project reports. This year, as part of our ongoing commitment to research Quality Assurance, CREST has made significant effort to promote Open Science practices. As a result, there is a growing collection of pre-registered experiments and openly available code and methods, which sit alongside the data uploaded to the ESRC Data Archive.

4.3 Commission synthetic reviews, workshops, and research projects
CREST's fourth commissioning call was the result of investment by the Home Office. The Call offered £585k at 100%fEC and went live in October 2018. Co-designed with our stakeholders, the Call sought targeted yet innovative research in eight areas ranging from drivers of involvement in terrorism, to terrorist migration between online platforms, to an up-to-date review of disengagement and desistance from terrorism. We received 30 applications requesting £2.04m and secured 104 reviews by 54 international experts. A total of 7 projects of 6 months duration were commissioned, with PIs coming from 5 different UK and EU Universities. The following table summarises the projects.

4.4 Produce innovative outputs that effectively communicate knowledge
CREST has sought to meet best-practice accessibility standards by releasing, where practical, outputs in html format as well as pdf. We are building on this by pulling through existing content onto a new website, which will be launched early in 2021.

Our outputs this year have received 24,921 downloads from across the globe and have been distributed to UK and overseas stakeholders. Our online content has been viewed ~234,730 times (www.crestresearch.ac.uk: 171,069; www.crestsecurityreview.com: 12,310; radicalisationresearch.org: 51,351) by users in 187 countries. We have reviewed the breadth of our outputs and taken the decision to rationalise our online platforms, allowing us to concentrate even more on the quality, rather than breadth, of our output.

4.5 Run engagement events that encourage academic-stakeholder interaction
Our networking activities this year were impacted by COVID-19. Nevertheless, 18 networking activities this year ranged from small, one-to-few roundtables though to large one-day conferences. These events are complemented by regular engagement with Programme teams to discuss salient topics, or the application of research findings to a particular operational problem (these meetings are not included in the KPIs).

4.6 Produce the next generation of researchers and professionals and engage SME and industry to support innovation.
CREST continues to support early-career researchers (ECR). Our mentoring at two universities saw a historic first this year: two of our original PhD students, who then took up CREST post-docs, secured academics posts! This is a wonderful achievement for those researchers, but also for the teams that created a supportive community in which they have thrived. A further 5 PhDs graduate this year. Four have taken up post-docs while the fifth took a role at a national police training centre.

Our partnership with the national innovation hub Plexal is underway. We have supported one initiative with a multinational bank and are in conversations about partnering other initiatives. Supported by our advisory board, we have also progressed our engagement with other potential industry partners. This has taken the form of mutual exploration of interests at this stage, pending identifying an opportunity that will fund joint working.

4.7 Challenges on progress
COVID-19 was inevitably the largest challenge we faced last year, and indeed this year. It required coordinating with numerous institutions who each had their own response to research continuing during the lockdown, as well as with PhD students anxious about the uncertainty of funding and study extensions. As recorded above, the team went above and beyond in supporting researchers, with the result being only minor disruption to the Centre's delivery.

Description This year was the final year of the '+2 extension' to CREST's grant. The Centre has now funded 140 researchers from 35 Universities and SMEs in the UK, and overseas in Australia, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the US. These researchers have delivered 5 core S&T programmes, 36 commissioned projects, and contributed to a diverse range of knowledge exchange and capability development activities. They are part of a larger CREST network of academics and practitioners, which reaches into the 1,000s (~2,500 people receive our newsletter) and spans over 5 continents. This community has increased mutual awareness and, by working together, addressed key policy and practice challenges. One highlight of this year is the growing tide of publications emerging from completed projects. Over 116 peer-reviewed journal publications now report the technical findings of our research in disciplines including area studies, business studies, computing, criminology, international relations, law, politics, psychology, sociology, and statistics, as well as in the generalist publications of the Public Library of Science and Royal Society. (A full publication list is at: https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=A92x4zQAAAAJ). Of these, 57% have early career researchers as authors (defined as <5 years post PhD). Our efforts to bring the broad church of economic and social science disciplines to bear on security problems, and our commitment to building capacity through the next generation, has paid off. Even a cursory look at this year's publications shows the epistemological breadth of CREST's research. Gabbert et al.[ ] use a systematic literature synthesis to determine what the field knows about rapport in information gathering contexts (critical given the many non-evidence claims). Buchanan[ ] uses an elegant series of online experiments to tease out the characteristics of messages and viewers that predict sharing of false information online. Lee and Knott[ ] use a rigorous thematic analysis of far-right web forums to explicate the nuances of when and how reciprocal radicalisation occurs. McKellar et al.[ ] use the same method to analyse interviewee responses as a way to understand the facets of digital hording. Mann et al.[ ] ran a 'smuggling' simulation to determine the kinds of strategies and behaviours of individuals possessing illicit objects, with a view to determining if they can be differentiated from innocent members of the public. The evidence described in these publications underpins CREST's impact successes. Impact has become even more prominent in CREST's activities this year, in part because of extensive efforts to support authors of REF2021 Impact Case Studies. To give a small flavour: Lee and Knott's work on ideology enabled rapid operational advice in response to an incident in Glasgow. Hope, Taylor, and Vrij's work on information elicitation is the backbone of a framework that supports decision making and training. Joinson and Hind's mapping of what can be predicted from digital footprints has shaped policy decisions around managing threat and resourcing digital investigations. Thomas and Grossman's evidence on what encourages public reporting underpins the Counter Terrorism Police's ACT Early Campaign. Much of this year's research was presented in the Home Office's recent STAR week. A second highlight of the year has been the 'translational' efforts of CREST's communication staff and research-to-practice fellows. Their efforts sustain and grow the connection between research and practice. There are now 236 resources available on CREST's website, which includes guides, reports, toolkits and videos. This year they attracted a readership of over 100,000 unique users (excluding our funders). This substantial catalogue of knowledge from world-leading experts is a highlight in itself. But it belies other resources and briefings that are provided in response to funder requests, such as responses to ongoing operations or evidence translated as part of Research-to-Practice Fellow training provision. One area where this team went 'above and beyond' is in responding to COVID-19. The pandemic had an immediate and significant impact on the work of our funders and CREST sought wherever possible to help anticipate and manage emergent risks. We did so by: (1) providing rapid evidence advice on topics including remote interviewing, risks created by working from home, and managing escalation in relation to Black Lives Matters; (2) accelerating the development of our online training provision so that it could be used as CPD during lockdown. This involved rapid iteration of the content and structure in response to user feedback, the creation of novel content to fill the gaps, and deployment. The positive response to this resource has confirmed its value; (3) producing guides on teamwork, leadership and resilience that formed part of the self-help framework supporttheworkers.org as well as internal resources for the funders; and, (4) curated resources on our website for reading during lockdown. Of note is the valuable role that Winter's PhD work played in answering questions about remote vetting. Her investigations of the opportunities and challenges of remote vetting became prescient as lockdown began. A third highlight of this year is how CREST researchers and core team worked together to manage the challenges brought by COVID-19. There are many examples of teams pivoting their activities quickly to minimise disruption. In a few cases where face-to-face testing was an essential part of the experimental design, our Executive Director and Research-to-Practice Fellows worked closely with the researchers to identify routes to completion that assured quality, impact, and value-for-money. The net result is delays to only two pieces of research, which are being delivered under our no cost extension. One area of CREST activity affected by COVID-19 was our delivery of events. Early on during the COVID-19 lockdown we took the decision to cancel our second international conference 'BASS20,' as well as planned ECR residentials and data sprints. This hastened our move to online meetings and presentations, which have included briefings from project findings (e.g., Marsden held 4 workshops for the Home Office, with at least 50 people at each; Blythe held an online seminar for industry, with 90 attendees) and close working with the Home Office on a showcase of behavioural sciences research. We provided speakers from seven CREST projects, reaching a combined audience of 653 at the Home Office STAR week. Despite the COVID-19 lockdown, this year has seen exciting developments in CREST's engagement with industry, a core stream of our growth strategy. Our partnership with Plexal saw its first 'pipe cleaner' project that involved delivering a professional development seminar series to an international bank. Similarly, senior CREST researchers engaged new audiences including Australian Defence, Cabinet Office (though their distinguished speaker series), Nasdaq, Scottish Organised Crime and Counter-Terrorism Unit, EU Presidency Conference (representatives of EU Member States and the EU Commission), the International Criminal Court, and police forces around the world. A final highlight of this year was the opportunity to commission seven projects using £585k investment from the Home Office. The Call, which launched in October 2019, focused on synthetic work designed to strengthen policy makers' understanding of issues, and required rapid knowledge exchange efforts. Between these projects, and in addition to online briefings, they have delivered twenty-four reports and briefs. Although the majority of CREST work under ES/N009614/1 is now complete, this is not the totality of our contributions under this grant. This is true in part because many projects are still producing outputs; our researchers have revise and resubmit decisions at top journals including Psychological Bulletin and Psychological Science. It is also true because CREST has supported the community's wider efforts. CREST researchers have secured over £20m in additional funding, of which 60% comes from overseas and industry. Their projects are on topics relevant to our funders and their evidence is, wherever possible, incorporated into our knowledge exchange. Another area where CREST has added value is in 'shaping' the focus of the field. For example, Vrij's programme and our commissioning has encouraged a wave of research on cross-cultural issues in relation to information elicitation; an issue largely ignored pre-CREST. Douglas and colleagues' review of factors that drive conspiracy theories is the launch point for considerable research on this topic. By opening up these research questions, we believe CREST has in no small way steered the community to addressing issues with real impact.

Title Data from: Culture moderates changes in linguistic self-presentation and detail provision when deceiving others 
Description Change in our language when deceiving is attributable to differences in the affective and cognitive experience of lying compared to truth telling, yet these experiences are also subject to substantial individual differences. On the basis of previous evidence of cultural differences in self-construal and remembering, we predicted and found evidence for cultural differences in the extent to which truths and lies contained self (versus other) references and perceptual (versus social) details. Participants (N = 320) of Black African, South Asian, White European and White British ethnicity completed a catch-the-liar task in which they provided genuine and fabricated statements about either their past experiences or an opinion and counter-opinion. Across the four groups we observed a trend for using more/fewer first-person pronouns and fewer/more third-person pronouns when lying, and a trend for including more/fewer perceptual details and fewer/more social details when lying. Contrary to predicted cultural differences in emotion expression, all participants showed more positive affect and less negative affect when lying. Our findings show that liars deceive in ways that are congruent with their cultural values and norms, and that this may result in opposing changes in behaviour.

HCI researchers increasingly conduct emotionally demanding research in a variety of different contexts. Though scholarship has begun to address the experiences of HCI researchers conducting this work, there is a need to develop guidelines and best practices for researcher wellbeing. In this one-day CHI workshop, we will bring together a group of HCI researchers across sectors and career levels who conduct emotionally demanding research to discuss their experiences, self-care practices, and strategies for research. Based on these discussions, we will work with workshop attendees to develop best practices and guidelines for researcher wellbeing in the context of emotionally demanding HCI research; launch a repository of community-sourced resources for researcher wellbeing; document the experiences of HCI researchers conducting emotionally demanding research; and establish a community of HCI researchers conducting this type of work.
Impact The collaboration has led to a workshop at CHI, the premier HCI cOnference globally.
