The Simple Economics of Cybercrimes
Nir Kshetri/IEEE Computer Society | Published in 2006
The characteristics of cybercriminals, cybercrime victims, and law enforcement agencies have a reinforcing effect on each other, leading to a vicious circle of cybercrime. The author builds on key elements of this circle to assess a hacker’s cost-benefit calculus, and suggests possible mechanisms for combating cybercrime.

Sex, Lies and Cybercrime Surveys
Dinei Florencio, Cormac Herley | Published in 2011
Much of the information we have on cyber-crime losses is derived from surveys. We examine some of the difficulties of forming an accurate estimate by survey. First, losses are extremely concentrated, so that representative sampling of the population does not give representative sampling of the losses. Second, losses are based on unveri fied self-reported numbers. Not only is it possible for a single outlier to distort the result, we find evidence that most surveys are dominated by a minority of responses in the upper tail. Finally, the fact that losses are confi ned to a small segment of the population magni fies the dificulties of refusal rate and small sample sizes.

Private-Public Sector Cooperation in Combating Cybercrime: In Search of a Model
Susan W. Brenner | Published in 2007
It is apparent that law enforcement, alone, cannot effectively combat cybercrime. One possible way to improve national responses to cybercrime is to incorporate cooperation with the private sector into the effort. But what are the limits and the legality of bringing private actors into the criminal justice process? This paper analyzes two ways in which the current law enforcement model could be modified to incorporate limited civilian participation in cybercrime investigation and prosecution processes.

Online Social Networking and the Experience of Cyber-Bullying
Bridianne O’Dea, Dr Andrew Campbell | Published in 2012
Online social networking sites (SNS) are popular social tools used amongst adolescents and account for much of their daily internet activity. Recently, these sites have presented opportunities for youth to experience cyber-bullying. Often resulting in psychological distress, cyber-bullying is a common experience for many young people. Continual use of SNS signifies the importance of examining its links to cyber-bullying. This study examined the relationship between online social networking and the experience of cyber-bullying. A total of 400 participants (Mage = 14.31 years) completed an online survey which examined the perceived definitions and frequency of cyber-bullying.

A right to be heard: Listening to children and young people on the move
UNICEF | Published in 2018
For many uprooted children, the journey from home can be profoundly lonely and plagued by challenges that put their health, education and futures at risk. Nearly 40 per cent of migrants and refugees aged 14–24 who participated in a new poll said they received no help at all during their journey in search of a safe and a better future – not from family, not from friends, not from institutions. These insights were provided as part of a poll conducted in September and October 2018 by UNICEF through U-Report, a social messaging tool for young people. The questions were sent digitally to U-Report users around the globe, and about 4,000 migrants and refugees aged 14–24 responded. The goal of the poll was to encourage children and young people to speak out about their experiences so their voices could be heard and heeded.

Refugee and Migrant Crisis in Europe: Humanitarian Situation Report #30
In 2018, some 141,500 refugees and migrants arrived in Europe through the Eastern, Central and Western Mediterranean migration routes. On average one in every four of them was a child (UNHCR). This included an estimated 6,000 unaccompanied and separated children. While overall sea arrivals have dropped by almost 20 per cent as compared to 2017 following measures to stop sea crossings through the Central Mediterranean route, other Mediterranean routes in the East and West saw increased influx over the past year. In fact, in 2018 half of all newly arrived refugee and migrant children in Europe were registered in Greece (some 17,200 children) with another 35 per cent in Spain. Most of them fled conflict, violence, insecurity and lack of opportunities in the Middle East, South Asia, East and West Africa.
