Given the importance of data and their analysis in the quality of research and academic studies in the field of security, the Security Research Center directs its attention to these data through the Security Statistics Unit and through the development of its activities; this unit analyzes data of criminal research and security studies conducted by the center, researchers among faculty members, and university graduate students.

Security statistics depend on selecting appropriate statistical programs and techniques and applying them to quantitative data and qualitative variables. The Unit follow up the procedures from the time it receives the data, validates their coding, selects the most appropriate indicators, carriesiout analysis and deliversthe statistical outputs. The Unit is in active interaction with researchers.
