How does violent crime affect the people who live nearby, even when they are not direct victims?

New article co-authored by Richard Dickens and George MacKerron, economists at the University of Sussex Business School, found that people living near where a violent crime occurred had increased stress levels.

Using nearly 50,000 real-time wellbeing responses from residents in the Thames Valley region in England, the study provides new evidence of the wider impact of violent crime on the mental health of local communities.

The findings contribute to a growing understanding of the social costs of crime. It could help inform policies aimed at improving well-being and community safety.

What's really driving the UK's nuclear strategy?

At this year's Andrew Webster lecture on science, technology and society at the institute for safe autonomy. Professor Andrew Stirling will present a compelling analysis of how nuclear policy is shaped — not just by energy needs, but by deeper institutional and political forces. Using key approaches from science and technology studies, this talk sheds light on how public narratives and expert perspectives are influenced — and why this matters beyond energy policy alone.

Location: York, England
Date: Thursday 17 September
Time: 6.15pm

This talk reveals how military nuclear costs are hidden within civil energy bills, warping policy and harming climate action and democracy.
