Secondly, I want to thank my supervisors, Andrej and Michael, and colleagues who have been very supportive over the years and operated as critical friends to help me on this road to completion. I started this study in the UK, under supervision of Michael Mulqueen and David Lundie, then moved back to the Netherlands where Andrej offered to take me under his kind wings -and where I joined the Data Research Centre (DRC) as a part-time researcher. This meant that the study did not follow a continuous, linear path, and was in need of various sprints along the way to complete it. Thank you for being patient and understanding. This is also a shout out to Oskar, Anne, and the colleagues at DRC. Your multi-and interdisciplinary work is exciting, fun, and the future of academia.Thirdly, I want to thank my academic and professional colleagues at the H2020 consortium Cutting Crime Impact (CCI). It was truly a pleasure to engage with law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and other partners from Estonia, Germany, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands, and the UK and witness the innovations that were being designed. I hope the contributions of Andrej, Oskar, and myself on the ethical, legal, and social aspects were not too academic and helped you design solutions that not merely work in a technical way, but are also sustainable and supported by society.In addition, a shout out to my kind and supportive colleagues at the Universities of the Netherlands (UNL) who are doing amazing work at the forefront of new developments. Rock on.Finally, I would like to thank the twenty interviewees at the law enforcement agencies for your time and for being open and frank with an external researcher. Ian, thank you for connecting me with these gatekeepers and for your informal comments. Thank you, David, for your kind tips on ethics and values.
