The fight against cybercrime

"Cybercrime training for judges and prosecutors: a concept" (Council of Europe and Lisbon Network)

The aim of this initiative is to help judicial training institutions to develop training programmes on cybercrime and electronic evidence for judges and prosecutors and to integrate such training into standard initial and in-service training in this field. It should furthermore facilitate networking among judges and prosecutors in order to enhance their knowledge and to encourage interested partners to set up training activities.

This initiative was developed over the course of 2009 by the Council of Europe (as part of its project on cybercrime) and the Lisbon Network of judicial training institutions, in cooperation with a multi-stakeholder working group.

The course is available here in English.
