Investigating Cyber Stalking Workshop, 10 March 2015

AYLESBURY, U.K. - Feb. 9, 2015 - PRLog -- Cyber stalking – a growing phenomenon. Are you geared up to investigate these complex online crimes and deal with the menace of internet trolls?

Around one million people in the UK have experienced stalking with half of those being victims of online stalkers or so-called internet trolls.

This insidious crime can affect people of all age groups and many live in terror of being controlled online by often threatening and abusive perpetrators.

Our one day workshop is tailored to investigators of all ranks who want to develop their skills in investigating cyber stalking and raise their understanding and awareness of this complex crime.

Our three speakers – all leading experts in the field will cover:
• The legislation that governs crimes of cyber stalking
• Best practice on how to investigate and prosecute cyber stalking offences; challenges; problems and pitfalls and how to overcome them
• Best practice for SIOs and managers on how to devise their cyber stalking strategy including how they can work with leading charity Digitalstalking.com to put in place a triage system to prioritise more serious crimes of cyber stalking. The less serious crimes can be passed onto Digitalstalking.com so they can provide support and safety advice for victims.
• A look at how cyber stalkers and internet trolls operate in cyber space – including social networking sites – the methods they use to terrorise their victims
• Offender profiling of cyber stalkers and internet trolls – who are the criminals who operate online with relative anonymity and ways in which they can be identified.
