Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (CREST)

Lead Research Organisation: Lancaster University
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.

Description CREST's work is dedicated to delivering new research and insights on security threats; exchanging knowledge with the wider academic community, policymakers / practitioners, and the public in a way that can be actioned; and growing capacity through connecting with cognate initiatives and developing the next generation of leaders. At an international level, CREST is regarded as the 'gold standard' of how academia can effectively interact with, and inform, policymakers and practitioners. This is evidenced through our continued support to specific research centres (e.g., this year we shared our best practice with the Social Science and Intelligence Research Network [SSiREN; an emerging centre in Australia]), and more significantly, our recent award to co-lead the development of an International Academic Partnerships for Science and Security (IAPSS) Hub, together with the National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology and Education Centre (NCITE, USA), to deliver on knowledge exchange and ECR development. This year, our researchers have published 9 peer-reviewed outputs, 66 project reports/guides/policy briefs and a collection of animations. These came from our core programmes (8 multi-year projects) and our commissioned research (11 shorter projects). Outputs ranged in focus from interoperability through credibility assessments. 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. Our commitment to knowledge exchange has seen CREST outputs published widely. This year we communicated our work through our website (www.crestresearch.ac.uk; 306,800 visits from over 168 different countries; with over 120,220 downloads of our products since October 2022-a 11.3% increase on the previous year), our newsletter (1,633 subscribers), social media (4,834 Twitter followers-3.6% increase from last 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 on our topic areas. We also published two CREST Security Review magazines on the topics of Innovation and Misinformation, and trained and introduced tools to 79 new end-users. 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. An example being the network opportunities we created at BASS23. Keen to hear from new voices, we increased the number of researchers and practitioners who have written for our CSR magazine by 36, 13 of which are Early Career Researchers ranging from PhD students to senior research associates. 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. 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 third (and final) year of CREST 3.0 funding (2020-2023), which builds on 7-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 developed shared understanding of the limits within which each operates. CREST's impact was assessed through an independent review of our centre from inception to May 2023. The review, carried out by Clarity Factory, concluded that CREST has significant impact on policymakers and practitioners by providing a growing evidence-base that consolidates over time, serves to test assumptions, and informs training and policy development. We were recognised as enhancing connections between end-users and academics (which serves to enhance academic work); contribute to capacity-building; and as a centre that delivers good value for money as evidenced by financial return on investment. Much of the success of CREST is attributed to our organizational model, which differs from the traditional model of directly commissioning work and allows immediate impact though routes such as stewardship requests and direct tasking. Another highlight of this year is our commission from the US Department of Homeland Security to co-lead an International Academic Partnerships for Science and Security (IAPSS) Hub together with the National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology, and Education Centre (NCITE, USA). IAPSS is committed to supporting global knowledge exchange between academics, government and industries, and developing the next generation of researchers in the field of targeted violence and terrorism prevention. We will deliver this through, inter alia, events (online and offline), bursaries, training, and infrastructure support. IAPSS aims to reduce duplication and make our global efforts more efficient (both in time and resource); and ultimately, to become the 'go to' place for academic expertise in this area. In addition to this large initiative, we continue to engage multiple communities at a national and international level through our events. Our research team at St Andrews (lead by Sarah Marsden) ran a 2-day workshop on the topic of trauma-informed approaches in risk management. The workshop attracted delegates from 13 countries, 20 organisations, and representation from both academics and non-academics. The event acted as a springboard to future planned events, collaborative working across countries, and a commitment to further develop the network in this area. We also held our International Behavioural and Social Sciences in Security Conference: BASS23. The three-day conference was held at the University of Bath, 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 230 delegates (a 20% increase on our last conference) from 7 countries, and offered a varied programme of 3 keynote adresses that represented practitioner and academic views, oral presentations held over 4 concurrently running panels, lightning talks, poster presentations, and demonstrations of the use of gamification approaches/board games in the field of security. Delegate feedback from the event was exemplary. Ratings showed that delegates would recommend BASS to a colleague (9.31/10.0). They also commented: "Honestly, this one of the most organised (and best) conferences I've been to. Apart from the exceptional quality of speakers, I loved that the sessions were spread out over three days (and two being half days), because it allowed sufficient time to enjoy the conference in other ways." "For a second year PhD student, this was the first conference presentation that I've done. Was great that the feel of the conference was nice and welcoming, and that I didn't just get questions after my talk, but feedback as well." We continue to support early career researchers. We increased the number of bursaries we offered to this cohort to attend BASS23 (from 3 to 10) and delivered two training events focused on 'Building International Collaborations' and 'Building Interdisciplinary Teams' (with speakers from Australia, USA and Europe), and 'Interacting with the Media'. We partnered with the EPSRC Security, Privacy, Identity Trust in the digital Economy NetworkPlus (SPRITE+) to deliver the media event, thus providing ECRs with opportunity to network outside of the CREST community. We continue to support the training of PhD students, with three of our existing cohort entering their final year. We were also delighted to hear that three of our junior researchers had secured permanent lectureship positions or posts in industry. In addition to direct engagement with end-users, the impact of our work is evidenced by our influence on the academic community. Our researchers continue to publish in leading journals, this year seeing the publication of Joinson's work on digital traces of offline mobilization published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Power's work on joint working between emergency services published in Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, and a number of our researchers including ECRs (e.g., Taylor, Hope, Kontogianni, Alison) contributing Chapters to a leading handbook on interviewing and interrogation research and practice. Across CREST's academic outputs, we saw a ~8% increase in the number of citations to our research. This upward trend continues year-on-year and we see no evidence of it plateauing.
