Cybercrime
Crime is increasingly taking place online. And who today is not online? But what exactly is cybercrime, what is punishable and what is not? What about privacy, what legislation is in place and how can you avoid becoming a victim? These are questions that will be addressed during the Public Justice Academy on Wednesday 7 September.
Prof. H. Wolswijk, professor of criminal law and criminal procedure at the University of Groningen, will introduce the evening and explain the new legislation on hacking and data interception. He will also discuss how 'classic' criminal provisions such as theft and fraud also prove their usefulness in the digital world. From the Public Prosecutor's Office, national cybercrime prosecutor Mr. M. Egberts is present and he talks about the developments within the world of High Tech Crime. He shows us how cybercriminals get our data and what they can then do with it.
