Department Name: Psychology
Abstract
In his recent CaSE speech, the UK Government Chief Scientific Adviser reported that 63% of the government's challenges have solutions rooted in the behavioural and social sciences. In the area of national security, it is the mission of the Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (CREST) to undertake pioneering research and translational activities that deliver such solutions. To date, our network of 140 researchers from 35 UK and international HEI/SMEs has contributed significant instrumental, conceptual and capacity-building impact for end-users (Independent Review, 2019). These contributions include providing insights into the social and ideological drivers of far-right extremism, developing tools for making inferences about risk from online data, and validating new methods for effective, ethical information elicitation.
Our 2020-2023 plan for CREST builds on this foundation but uses a renewed structure to foster agile, solution-focused activities. Our approach will deliver: (1) research that is tightly bound to the challenges of our funders while remaining world-leading in its contribution to the academy; (2) a step-change in our support for funders' evolving needs and their efforts to translate research into practice; (3) new forms of researcher-stakeholder co-working that promote knowledge exchange, research relevance, and professional development on both sides; and, (4) an engaged, collaborative international community of social scientists contributing to national security.
The renewed Centre, whose 24 researchers and 7 PhDs will work with 9 administrative, communication, and research-to-practice professionals, will pursue three Agendas:
The RESEARCH AGENDA will produce theoretically motivated, high-quality synthetic and original research on key aspects of the funders' challenges. It will comprise eight projects that are solution focused, diverse in disciplinary and methodological approach, and subject to the Centre's ethical and open science standards. In doing so, it seeks both to nurture exploration and new ideas, and to take mature concepts through to field validation.
This Agenda includes mechanisms for DIRECT TASKING, whereby funders will be able to draw on the expertise of the CREST network, securing rapid and timely responses to specific needs. This includes having researchers undertake evaluative and comparative work within the funder, which we view as facilitating impact and capacity building.
To respond to emerging challenges, £900k of CREST's funds will support short-term RESEARCH COMMISSIONING. Funds will be allocated via our established transparent and competitive process that delivers scientific excellence, stakeholder relevance, and value for money.
Combining our existing communication and network activities, the KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE AGENDA will continue to innovate to ensure that research is communicated effectively across academia, our funders, government and industry, and the public. We will disseminate our findings to the academic community in peer reviewed publications, conference presentations, technical reports, and Open Science materials. We will engage users by focusing our production on fewer, high quality outputs, and by curating the existing CREST knowledge base to maximise its accessibility to time-poor user communities (e.g. via training frameworks).
The CAPACITY-BUILDING AGENDA will grow CREST's vibrant international network through a variety of events, from our biennial 150 attendee conference, to small-scale, challenge-focused residential 'sprints'. We will make a particular effort to reach underrepresented disciplines in order to foster new researcher-stakeholder exchanges, introduce new perspectives, and stimulate synergies across cognate centres and government departments. This Agenda will also train a cohort of seven PhD students, and continue our efforts to provide training and resources for the wider ECR community.

Evidence Map
| Description | CREST's objectives are detailed in the research proposal. 1. To run a world-class, interdisciplinary Centre. CREST continues to receive unsolicited requests for advice from international practitioners and academics who wish to implement a version of CREST in their home country. We continue to share best practice with newly emerging CoE and continue to build close relationships with the National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology and Education Centre (NCITE; indeed, the Centre's Director delivered a keynote at our International conference). 2. Research Agenda & Dissemination. The research teams who work across 8 core programmes and 10 commissioned projects continue to undertake new, and innovative research. Core research programmes recognise the importance of understanding online behaviours and cross-cultural variations, and many of our projects incorporate one or both of these elements. The work of our researchers has resulted in 17 new peer-reviewed publications this year, and numerous project reports. In our continued commitment to Open Science, we have supported SREC in their activities to promote pre-registration of experiments and openly available code (where it is appropriate to do so), and we're pleased to see engagement by our researchers in this area. 3. Direct Tasking capability. CREST's core programme structure provides our funders with access to researchers to engage on time-critical pieces of work. This year, we received 4 direct tasking requests, and through this were able to assist on areas such as digital biometrics and age verification. 4. Commission synthetic and original research on emerging needs. Through a rigorous process of peer review, we commissioned 11 projects to work on security topics that ranged from factors that impact information disclosure in vetting interviews through interoperability training to conspiracy theory. Ten of these projects completed data collection this year, with preliminary results presented at our International BASS conference in July 2022. 3.5. Knowledge exchange/ management. CREST's outputs are published widely. This year we communicated our work through our website (www.crestresearch.ac.uk; 492,800 visits from over 168 different countries; with over 108,000 downloads of our products since October 2021-a 54% increase on the previous year), our newsletter (1,398 subscribers), social media (4,664 Twitter followers-10% of these joined this year), and our triannual magazine CREST Security Review (distributed to ~2,500 people and openly accessible on our website). This year we saw a 16% increase in the amount of meaningful web engagement (as measured by the amount of time that people spend on the site) and a 30% average increase in the number of times that a single user visited our site. This speaks to the quality of the output we provide (that people are increasingly re-visiting our pages), and suggests CREST as a 'go to' for information in our topic areas. We prepared 18 policy briefing reports and guides; 3 CREST Security Review magazines on the topics of Technology; Trust; and Trauma; and engaged in 17 networking events that ranged from virtual workshops to multi-day conferences and expos. We trained and introduced tools to 79 new end-users. 6. Capacity Building. CREST continues to sit on a government behavioural science initiative that brings together 10 departments. In this role, we have been instrumental in developing 15 case studies that showcase the use of behavioural and social science in national security. We have been instrumental in fostering relationships between researchers and stakeholders, one example being the collaboration between Early Career Researchers and government department to carry out a piece of work looking at bias in emerging biometrics. Another being the network opportunities we created at BASS22. Keen to hear from new voices, we increased the number of researchers and practitioners who have written for our CSR magazine by 48, 18 of which are Early Career Researchers ranging from PhD students to senior research associates. 6. Work with funders and stakeholders to ensure all activities have positive impact on operational practice and policy. CREST continues to receive positive feedback from end-users on the service we provide - from resources through knowledge exchange events to training: For example: "After being introduced to CREST some 2 years ago, I've used it as a valuable resource in a number of ways, e.g. to increase my professional knowledge and understanding, to support my work role, providing information for team colleagues and in relation to the development and delivery of training. I've been extremely impressed by how so much information (from a wide range of behavioural / social sciences and other disciplines) is organised and presented in a very accessible, understandable and informative way". 7. Maintain effective processes for project management. We continue to use our online Work Operating System, which allows us to track a range of things such as data management, project progress, outputs, stewardship requests, and networking events. We consider matters relating to EDI when planning our activities and calls, and our research undergoes scrutiny by CREST's ethics committee ahead of commencement. |

| Description | This is the second year of CREST's 2020-2023 extension ('CREST3.0'), which builds on 6-years of successful impact and engagement and a focus on stakeholder requirements. Our focus on co-creation (in both core programmes and commissioned projects) has facilitated CREST's continued impact by ensuring our activity is both aligned with stakeholder needs and has operational utility. We have witnessed researcher-stakeholder relationships deepen and a shared understanding of the limits within which each operate. Not only has this benefited existing programmes of work, it has prompted requests for additional pieces of research to be completed by CREST researchers. The impact of our research is evidenced, in part, by our influence on the academic community. This year we saw a ~33% increase in the number of citations to our research. This upward trend continues year-on-year and we see no evidence of it plateauing. Our influence is helped by the standing of our researchers; many of whom are leaders in their field. An excellent example of this is Professor Vrij who was named this year as most prolific author in the field of deception detection with 201 articles and over 6,800 citations (Applied Cognitive Psychology). We were also delighted to hear that one of the academics whom we commissioned to carry out work on conspiracy theories in one of our early commissioning rounds recently secured a £2m ERC grant to run a research centre in this area. Professor Douglas' CREST-funded work continues to be amongst our most cited outputs, and we are pleased to have been able to offer the springboard for this burgeoning area of work, and for Douglas to emerge as a leader in this area. The expertise within CREST allows us to respond to rapid requests that are often time sensitive. This year was no different. We provided a time-critical evaluation of work in the area of age verification; we responded to a cross-government request for an assessment of research in emerging digital biometrics; and offered an initial scoping of research in the area of trauma, adversity and violent extremism. The importance of the latter was recognised by a request to carry out a longer, 18-month, piece of work, which resulted in multiple practitioner workshops, reports, and a special issues of CREST Security Review (CSR). Another highlight this year has been our work translating research into practice. In addition to running 12 events and meetings, we held two large events that helped inform practitioners on the latest work from behavioural and social science in security. We co-organised a day event on Communication, Engagement and Influence with policing where we shared knowledge on ideology, information elicitation, adaptability and error recovery through leading experts in the UK and the Netherlands. The event was attended by 100 in-person delegates and was live streamed to over 300. Feedback was positive with one officer stating the event directly helped them towards a positive outcome during a later incident. Our second large event was our International Behavioural and Social Sciences in Security Conference: BASS22. After a three year wait, we held a three day conference where we welcomed academics and practitioners (new and old) to network and hear the latest work in risk assessment, information elicitation, deterrence and disruption. We hosted over 180 delegates (a 15% increase on our last conference) from 8 different countries, and offered a varied programme of keynotes, presentations, lightening talks, poster presentations, and a Research to Practice Fellow led panel session. The conference also housed two Dstl funded panels on Social Bias in Computational Social Science, which allowed delegates to discuss emerging issues in this area. In agreeing to support the workshops at BASS, we were able to promote the work of an early career researcher who was leading on this piece of work. Our commitment to supporting ECRs did not end there. Through bursaries, we supported the attendance of 7 ECRs (4 more than we originally planned) and we offered a pre-conference ECR workshop on the topics of 'Impact' and 'Communicating your research'. This comprised a highly rated speed dating session, where researchers were able to pitch ideas to, and receive feedback from, practitioners. We held a poster competition, in which 4 ECRs were awarded a prize for their work and all were given exposure to practitioners. Delegate feedback from BASS was exemplary. Ratings showed that delegates would recommend BASS to a colleague (9.0/10.0). We also received glowing qualitative feedback from delegates whom commented: "Thank you so much - this is one of the best conferences I have ever been to. So much of the research has practical utility and you had a wide and wonderful array of speakers. I will definitely be recommending future events to other colleagues in the security field"; "As a PhD student it was such a great opportunity to present my work and get feedback from brilliant people. Also one of the best networking events I've attended. Great for development, but also to see how good everyone else's work is!" In response to requests from our community, CREST will hold another conference in 2023. BASS22 contributed to our efforts to build capacity, and through this event we were able to engage with 45 new academics working in security. In addition, we saw growth in our community with first-time entries from 48 academic and practitioners to our CSR magazine. |

| Results and Impact | 1. Initiated an international, multidisciplinary working group of practitioners, policymakers and researchers who work on trauma and violent extremism. Since this session we've formalised the network and run a series of online events bringing together an international audience to discuss research and share good practice. This has led to new funding applications and research collaborations. 2. Provided the springboard for the next phase of the research. We have since engaged in a larger piece of work via CREST which is being supported by the working group. |
