UCP Research Summary

This document is a short report that reflects the contents of the ResourceSpace database on Unarmed Civilian Protection (UCP) and self-protection that has been set up by Berit Bliesemann de Guevara (PI ‘Creating Safer Spaces, Aberystwyth University) in cooperation with Suzanne Klein Schaarsberg (Research Assistant, Aberystwyth University) and Rachel Julian (Co-I, ‘Creating Safer Spaces, Leeds Beckett). The document serves as an introduction to the literature and gives an overview of the scope, topics and themes that the database covers. The literature suggestions in this document are only a few examples of the texts that reflect certain themes. There will likely be more texts to be found for each topic, and the aim of this document is to provide some starting points for further research and to help users to navigate the database to find the literature on UCP that they need. Each literature suggestion starts with an ID which refers to the identification number of the item in the Unarmed Civilian Protection ResourceSpace.
