Life Solved

Why do burglars commit crimes and what kinds of decisions do they make when carrying out a crime? The answer could help us reduce the number of burglaries taking place.

More than 192,000 burglaries were reported between 2021 and 2022 across England and Wales. The impact upon victims goes beyond lost possessions and can have a longer-term impact on their sense of security in their own homes.

But Matthew Talbot thinks that some alterations in our behaviour, as well as embracing the tools of the digital age could be set to change that.

In this episode of Life Solved we find out how he’s bringing together forensics and psychology in the Virtual Burglary Project at the University of Portsmouth.

Leveraging Virtual Reality for Crime Prevention | Life Solved

In this episode of Life Solved, Dr Fay Couceiro shares the latest on an exciting partnership between the University of Portsmouth and a 2,000 mile competitive rowing event.

In the Summer of 2022, GB Row participants set out to row the length of the UK coastline, but not only that, they were gathering data to help study and map the health of our oceans.

The teams took samples with specially designed equipment to capture insights from sound waves to microplastics and environmental DNA.

Fay explains how this data is allowing us unrivalled insights into the extent of plastics pollution and biodiversity loss in these waters.
