Abstract:
Dr Diarmaid Harkin will report on findings from researching three specialist cyber-crime units in Australia. Specialist units to tackle cybercrime are becoming a norm in contemporary police organisations, but there is a lack of knowledge, information, and research on the work of these units. Using survey data and interviews, the unique challenges of performing cyber-policing and holding cyber-policing to account will be discussed
