"This report is one of a series that was produced by the N8 Policing Research Partnership with support from the College of Policing's Innovation Capacity Building Fund. The N8 Policing Research Partnership (N8PRP) enables research collaborations that help address the problems of policing in the 21st century. As a regional hub for research and innovation in policing it provides a platform for collaborations between universities, Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs), Government, police forces, and other partners working in policing policy, governance and practice."--Page 4.
Summary
Cybercrime is difficult to define; it disrupts the boundaries of traditional policing in terms of geography, organisation and expertise. This gives rise to a whole series of questions around the policing of cyber crime. The unique challenges associated with cybercrime were explored by the N8 Policing Research Partnership, including an examination of the role of the police, other partners, and technology. The N8 PRP also makes a number of recommendations for operational practice.
