A joint study between EURIM and the Institute of Public Policy Research 2003-5.

Six main papers were produced.

• Separating Myth from Reality and Snake-Oil from Practicality (with an appendix on the scale and nature of computer assisted crime)

• Protecting the Vulnerable: (addressing the needs of small firms plus associated crime prevention material)

• Supplying the Skills for Justice: (addressing the needs of law enforcement and industry for investigatory and enforcement skills)

• Reducing Opportunities for e-Crime: (making it harder for criminals to identify and attack or impersonate Internet users and their systems)

• The Reporting of Cybercrime: (who should report what to whom? How should they do so? What should happen next?)

• Building Cybercommunities: Beating Cybercrime: The organisation of Internet policing

In parallel the group produced a number of other papers including:

• Policing: Building Safer On-line Communities Together: The response to the Police Reform consultation White Paper

• Current Internet Regulation Issues: Status Report for MPs
