PRIVATE CYBERCRIME PREVENTION INITIATIVES
Hutchings et al., (2020)
Detecting deviance – using ‘big data’ to determine behavioral differences between legitimate customers and criminals. Rely on humans behaving in a relatively predictive way.
E.g., fraud detection systems, malware detection, intrusion detection systems)
Displacement – offenders or crimes change or evolve (new locations, times, targets, methods, offenders, offence types) due to preventative actions
E.g., website takedowns, denial of service attacks, child abuse (remove visible identifiers in images or metadata)
Effective detection of deviance over time is “a Red Queen’s race”
What are the possible benefits of the police’ use of AI, machine learning models, robotics and automation?
What are the risks?
