Over the last two years, the United Nations' Office on Drugs and Crime has been conducting a study on preventing and combating cybercrime, using extensive interviews and detailed questionnaires completed by 69 states and a number of non-governmental organisations. Dr Brown was part of the team producing the final report, which was published in February 2013. In this talk he'll describe the key findings, which cover:
- The impact of fragmentation at international level and diversity of national cybercrime laws on international co-operation;
- Formal international co-operation in criminal matters involving cybercrime and electronic evidence for all crimes;
- The role of evidence 'location';
- Harmonisation of national legal frameworks;
- Law enforcement and criminal justice capacity;
- Cybercrime prevention activities.
