Abstract

The first focus of the paper is to define, describe and illustrate ‘design against crime” as a socially responsive design movement, differentiating and explaining the socially responsive design approach from that of the movement that calls itself socially responsible design. The aim is to widen discussion about ethical approaches designers, architects and engineers can take in order to help design out crime from society. In the second half of the paper we will focus on the socially responsive practice of Vexed Generation across several design territories including fashion, accessories and design for mobility.

Keywords: theory and practice of design, design against crime, interaction design
