Abstract

AGUILAR CARCELES, Marta María. Cybercrime and cybervictimization in Europe: Institutions involved in cybercrime prevention in the United Kingdom. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2015, vol.57, n.1, pp.121-135. ISSN 1794-3108.

The objective consists of carrying out a review of the cybercrime prevention issue in the European sphere. According to statistical data, Europe is the second territory with the highest number of cyber-users worldwide. The United Kingdom stands out since it is one of the countries having devoted more entities to cybercrime prevention. For this reason, and because, as already said, is the second country in the European Union with the largest number of network users-and the first with relation to Facebook-it has been decided that an exhaustive analysis should be carried out on agencies and entities that are currently guiding their purposes and efforts toward preventing cybervictimization, with respect to which special mention is to be made to minors as the most specifically vulnerable group of victims.

Keywords : Crime prevention; cybercrime; computer crime; victim; criminality; criminality through the use of computers.
