There is still time to book for the Rethinking Cybercrime 2016 Conference to be held at the University of Central Lancashire this coming June.



We are delighted to inform you about an exciting international conference devoted to Cybercrime. The theme of the conference is to critically examine the current 'state of play' in global Cybercrime in relation to a diverse range of issues including terrorism, online sexual predation, property/identity theft, cyber-bullying, virtual criminology, cyber-security and trolling, in tandem with attempts to 'rethink' ways in which we might conceptualise theoretical developments, inform social and educational policy, respond to threats and prevent and combat online criminal behaviour.
