This workshop aims at initiating dynamic interactions that will be used to develop the human capacity of all participants by focusing on issues relating to IT– Enabled Crimes, Case Studies of existing cybercrime incidences, Cybercrime Legislation, Policy Development, Prevention & Management of Cybercrimes. Understanding the theoretical explanations of cybercrime will enable scientists, researchers, information technologists and professionals to better gather and analyze intelligence information, assist with the investigation and prosecution of cyber offenders, and design enforcement programs that target particular offences by individuals or groups. We intend to empower participants to correctly identify the origin of fraudulent cyber activities so that arrest and prosecution can be directed to the right place. More specifically, the workshop will provide opportunity for brainstorming on specific theories that could explain causation, explore the dimensions (cyber fraud, cyber terrorism, online sex offence) and provide opportunity to apply existing information security theories and models to see how well they fit into the domain of controlling and monitoring cyber criminals. Experts will discuss on how IT can tools can be enhanced for reporting, monitoring and controlling cybercrime. We will show that most pragmatic way to address the malaise of cybercrime is a multidisciplinary approach where criminology, sociology, business, law and technology complement each other. This will provide a dimension of solution that addresses the problems from all possible angles. This workshop is important for the academia, researchers, officers in the police force, bankers and financial organizations, immigration officials, the Interpol and any other participants that use the internet for one purpose or another.
