“…Responding to victims effectively also means signposting to support agencies and referral services, providing the right advice to access cybersecurity toolkits through a centralised guidance and information site, giving updates on investigation leads (Curtis & Oxburgh, 2022), and recommending a government-approved list of trusted sources on cybersecurity information (Monteith et al, 2021). This helps curb confusion, may prevent re-victimisation, while taking into consideration their mental, physical and emotional trauma -all of which aligns with the trauma-informed and victim-centred approach (Chenier et al, 2021). By having a point of contact for information about their case, this can increase their confidence in police and/or services capability and duty of care in parallel.…”

Cybercrimes are broadly defined as criminal activities carried out using computers or computer networks. Given the rapid and considerable shifts in Internet use and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cybercrime rates, online behaviours have attracted increased public and policy attention. In this article, we map the landscape of cybercrime in the UK by first reviewing legislation and policy, as well as examine barriers to reporting and address investigative challenges. Given the indisputable rise in cybercrime and its mental health impacts, we propose a four-facet approach for research and practice in this field with an eye to systemic shifts and strategies to combat cybercrime holistically: community alliances and social support, state intervention, and infrastructural sensitivity to user diversity. Lastly, empirical evidence from research guides the design of data-driven technology and provision of advice/interventions to provide a safer digital landscape -hence the importance for more informative research.
