ABSTRACT
Cybercrime has experienced an ascending position in national security agendas world-wide. It has become a part of the national security strategies of a growing number of countries, including the UK, Australia, the Netherlands, the USA and many others, becoming a Tier One threat, above organised crime and fraud generally. On the one hand, cybercrime is becoming increasingly professionalised resulting in 'specialists' that perform complex and sophisticated attacks on computer systems and human users. Abdullah Faze Algarni considers how fraudsters are policed. He finds that the Riyadh policing response to Internet fraud fits in with contemporary debates on cybercrime control as theorised in Western literature. Lennon Chang examines formal and informal modalities for policing cybercrime across the Taiwan Straight. The recent establishment of the European Cybercrime Centre at Europol and the planned Interpol Global Complex for Innovation evidence the cross-border efforts to combat the growing problem.
