Davey is Professor of Design, Innovation & Society and Director of the Design Against Crime Solution Centre — a unique design research partnership with Greater Manchester Police, the Landeskriminalamt Niedersachsen (DE) and DSP-groep b.v.

For over 20 years, Caroline has led research into the use of evidence-based design to create human-centred product and service solutions to societal challenges. She is currently leading the €3m European Commission funded research programme Cutting Crime Impact (CCI).
