Welcome to EUdocS.

EUdocS is a research project funded by the European Commission as part of Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) under the 7th Framework Programme. The Fellowship was awarded to Dr. Günter Stummvoll who carries out the project in cooperation with the Centre for Criminological Research at Keele University in England.

The acronym EUdocS stands for “European Designing Out Crime Standards”.

The project started in August 2008 and will go on for 24 months, ending in summer 2010.

EUdocS is a research project that critically reflects the development and application of European standards directed towards crime prevention by urban planning and building design. First, it reconstructs the development of guidelines specified in CEN/TR 14383-2 developed by the Technical Committee 325 of the European Standardisation Committee (CEN). Second, it studies the policy processes involved in the application of design-led crime prevention strategies.
