| Cyber & Electronic Crime Strategic Policy Project | |||
Overview In an effort to address the challenges and threats presented by the growth of cyber and electronic crime, the National Governors Association (NGA) and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) have launched the National Cyber and Electronic Crime Strategic Policy Project. The goal of the project is to investigate solutions and address challenges to the growing threat of cyber and electronic crime. The project will involve and assist policymakers and law enforcement officials at state, local, and federal levels, representatives from private industry, including the financial, communications, and electronic sectors, and representatives from other relevant public and private institutions (e.g. courts, prosecutors, education, health, etc.) in developing and sharing knowledge to more effectively and strategically address cyber and electronic crime. Despite the emergence of these issues as major public safety concerns, there has been no national-level effort to assess the strategic policy landscape related to cyber and electronic crime, and its projected growth in extent and complexity. Currently, state, local, and federal policymakers have few resources to turn to in developing strategic evidence based policies and practices in the face of these rapidly growing and changing issues. This project aims to begin to fill that gap, and provide proactive assistance to efforts that would assist in promotion of research, development and evaluation of effective strategies to deal with the problems found. The project consists of a proactive multidisciplinary strategic investigation of both the present and evolving threats and responses to cyber and electronic crime. The project will address the consequences of the rapidly evolving and expanding technological threats now faced by law enforcement agencies, private financial and communications sectors, and the public at-large. Finally, the project will address the issues of relating developments in new cyber and electronic crime challenges with needed future commitments of law enforcement and societal assets on complex E-crime cases distributed over a wide physical and virtual range, in order to accelerate a proactive response by society. National Strategic Policy Council on Cyber and Electronic Crime The National Strategic Policy Council on Cyber and Electronic Crime consists of policymakers and law enforcement officials at state, local, and federal levels; representatives from private industry, including the financial, communications, and electronic sectors; and representatives from other relevant public and private institutions. In an effort to keep the size of the policy council manageable, NGA sought individuals who not only represented key interests, but also brought multiple informed perspectives on the issues of cyber and electronic crime. To help identify these individuals, NGA convened a planning group in 2005. This group, although smaller, was also comprised of individuals representing multiple interests in cyber and electronic crime policy. Based on the feedback from this group and in consultation with NIJ, the following individuals were invited to participate on the policy council. Michael Aisenberg Kelly Ayotte Betsy Broder Randall H. Carroll Cabell C. Cropper James X. Dempsey James Dobson Robert D'Ovidio Michael T. Geraghty John W. Gillis Rupa S. Goswami Marc M.
