Combatting Cybercrime
Advances in technologies over the last 20 years have affected virtually every aspect of the waywe live and conduct our daily lives. While these technologies have been a source of good and enabled social and economic progress around the world, hardly a day goes by without news of yet another cyberattack, or the use of technology in the commission of crime. Here, at the World Bank, we know that in order for technologies, including the internet, to continue to be used as a force for economic growth and development, measures must be taken to ensure the security of the internet and the data and communications that flow over it. This Toolkit, Combating Cybercrime: Tools and Capacity Building for Emerging Economies, aims at building capacity to combat cybercrime among policy-makers, legislators, public prosecutors and investigators, as well as among individuals and in civil society at large in developing countries by providing a synthesis of good practices in the policy, legal and criminal-justice aspects of the enabling environment necessary to combat cybercrime.

| Summary: | Advances in technologies over the last
20 years have affected virtually every aspect of the waywe
live and conduct our daily lives. While these technologies
have been a source of good and enabled social and economic
progress around the world, hardly a day goes by without news
of yet another cyberattack, or the use of technology in the
commission of crime. Here, at the World Bank, we know that
in order for technologies, including the internet, to
continue to be used as a force for economic growth and
development, measures must be taken to ensure the security
of the internet and the data and communications that flow
over it. This Toolkit, Combating Cybercrime: Tools and
Capacity Building for Emerging Economies, aims at building
capacity to combat cybercrime among policy-makers,
legislators, public prosecutors and investigators, as well
as among individuals and in civil society at large in
developing countries by providing a synthesis of good
practices in the policy, legal and criminal-justice aspects
of the enabling environment necessary to combat cybercrime. |
