Cybersecurity and Safety Policy and best practices

The 12th toolbox in the series published by the European Crime Prevention Network Secretariat focuses on ‘Cyber Safety’.

This first part presents an overview for policymakers and tries to guide the reader through the myriad of legislative proposals and policy documents. The second and third part focus on the good and promising practices which were submitted to compete in the 2017 European Crime Prevention Award (ECPA) and some additional projects that were sent to the EUCPN. Being safe online is not a reflex for everyone and the projects that were gathered aim to achieve just that. We have a look at the orientation of the projects, which partners are present and some of the methods that were applied. These lessons learned provide practical information for the practitioners in their effort to prevent cybercrime and promote cyber safe behaviour.
