Safety by Design: Making Crime Unfriendly Tech with just 3 Principles
We are joined by Dr Harris who is Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Law at the Queensland University of Technology, Australia to talk about working with the eSafety Commissioner in Australia, considerations for the safety regarding technology-facilitated abuse of women with intellectual disability or cognitive disabilities and how Safety by Design can make a difference in improving products and services such as Apple’s Airtags. Dr James joins us again to answer one of my silly questions about digital forensics. I asked why there are often backlogs for processing digital evidence.

I said the allegory of motor vehicles was revealing. An allegory generally considered to be a story poem or picture with a symbolic meaning such as a moral point of view. Although it didn’t make the final edit there is something to be learned from the story of automobile safety is that safety requires regulation, standards and education and it can be effective.
