Project

CC-Driver: Understanding the drivers of cybercriminality, and new methods to prevent, investigate and mitigate cybercriminal behaviour (H2020 project).

The project investigates the modalities of cybercrime and connections with other criminal activities. Tools are developed for Law Enforcement Agencies to take into account these modalities, to help prevent and/or mitigate the impact of criminal acts and assist the understanding of cybercrime behaviours to enable prevention and law enforcement.​​​ By conducting a survey in 8 countries, the project will determine predictors of new forms of cybercriminality. We specifically focus on understanding factors that determine the following criminal behaviours: hacking, hate speech, digital piracy and image-based sexual abuse. An online tool will be created that young people and organisations can use to assess their vulnerability to cybercrime. We will create an online assessment/awareness/educational tool for youth, parents/caregivers/educators and other stakeholders. A self-assessment questionnaire will be developed for organisations and others to check their vulnerability to cybercrime attacks.
