معرفی
Luke Bates is a Research Fellow at CENTRIC (Centre of Excellence in Terrorism, Resilience, Intelligence and Organised Crime Research) within Sheffield Hallam University, focusing on societal dimensions of security including public acceptance of AI systems, surveillance practices, terrorism, and cybercrime through a criminological lens.
His educational background includes:
- BA in Criminology and Sociology from Sheffield Hallam University
- MRes in Criminology from the University of Manchester
Research Interests: Bates specializes in terrorism and radicalisation with emphasis on lone-actor terrorists and online extremism, extending to contemporary security challenges like AI-driven urban security systems and surveillance sociology. His mixed-methods research bridges criminological theory with practical security applications, examining how societal factors influence technology adoption in counter-terrorism contexts while addressing cybercrime implications through empirical investigation of public attitudes.
Publication Trends: His 2023 IEEE publication on smart city security acceptance exemplifies his research trajectory analyzing human-technology interactions in security ecosystems. This work reveals consistent methodological approaches examining citizen trust in integrated security solutions, with thematic focus on balancing technological efficacy against societal resistance in counter-terrorism frameworks and cybercrime prevention scenarios.
