While\n conventional law enfor cement is concerned with prosecutions\,\n prevention strategies seek to engage with (future) offenders and\n divert them away from committing cy bercrime in the first place (or to\n desist from doing so once they have started). A number of tactics have\n been explored for blocking pathway s into cybercrime. These include TV\n advertisements to encourage parent s to take note of what their\n children might doing online\, warnings wh en youths are crossing into\n cybercriminal activities\, workshops with mentor figures who can\n demonstrate more productive (and legal) uses of hacking skills\, and\n connections to employers who can potentially off er pathways towards\n legitimate employment in cybersecurity or the tech nology sector more\n broadly. This panel offers a diverse range of persp ectives on\n cybercrime prevention: a pioneer of prevention efforts in t he United\n Kingdom and the Netherlands\; an American attorney involved in high\n profile computer crime defense cases\; a US law enforcement ag ent\; and\n a well-known former hacker. The panel is moderated by an aca demic\n expert on cybercrime. Come learn about ongoing prevention effort s and\n how you might be able to help as a policymaker\, potential mento r\, or\n general supporter.\n '\n\n 1. #CaesarsSummitBR\n\n\n DTEND:20230811T225000Z DTSTART:20230811T220000Z LOCATION:PLV - Caesars Forum - Summit - 218-219 - Policy Rotunda SUMMARY:Blocking Pathways into Cybercrime: Current Efforts and Future Oppor tunities END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
