The internet has changed the ways people behave as well as the crimes they commit. As part of series of events to mark the 30th anniversary of the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies, this public lecture will showcase research being undertaken within the Centre on major funded projects: TAKEDOWN (H2020), CRITiCaL (EPSRC) and EMPHASIS (EPSRC).

These span crimes committed both online and offline that enable transnational criminal and terrorist organisations to thrive, to more technical studies on crimes in the cloud, bitcoins, data breaches and ransomware.
