Hot products

The mobile phone has been a significant driver of street robbery and will continue to be an issue as the handset becomes increasingly multi-functional, and valuable. We have been working closely with the industry on this. Rapidly changing technology means that other ‘hot’ products such as Sat Navs and iPods have also been an issue. I am concerned that we keep up with technology, that we anticipate and act on future ‘hot products’ before they become a problem.

What designs could be added to these products, to make them less attractive to thieves?

What have you got to say, on key issues of the day, about best ways of designing out crime?
