Research Context
This interdisciplinary research leads workpackage 5 and also contributes to 1 & 6. It is part of the Combatting Criminals In The Cloud (CRITiCal) project funded by the EPSRC/ESRC CONTRAILS, with Durham and Newcastle Universities (Dr Thomas Gross is the overall PI).
It looks at
- how we understand Cybercrime in the Cloud;
- who the offender groups are and what types of data and evidence are required to bring them to account for their actions, either in court or elsewhere;
- what interventions can be used to prevent them from committing more serious cybercrimes.
Research Methodology
The methodology is largely based upon analysis of a number of original data sources, combined with interviews and script analysis of cases.
