It is my pleasure to invite you to the upcoming virtual [Zoom] roundtable session on Wednesday June 23rd, entitled “Cybercrime: Improving Victim Support and Resilience” (11:30-13:00 BST). Join us virtually at the Cyber Threats Research Centre (CYTREC), for a roundtable discussion with some fantastic national and international speakers to:

• Identify and exchange knowledge on existing strategies, best practices and tools for supporting victims and building resilience against the impacts of cyber and ‘hybrid’ crimes.
• Discuss creative ideas for new strategies, solutions and tools which may help practitioners to support victims, or victims to help themselves.
• Further the policy and research agendas on responding to victimisation.

Speakers

• Prof. Cassandra Cross (Queensland University of Technology)
• Claire Perrin (Cyber Protect Officer, South Wales Police)
• Ricardo Estrela (Operational Manager at the Safer Internet Helpline, APAV - Victim Support Portugal)

• Tom Edwards (Area Manager Wales, Victim Support)
• Co-chairs: Sara Correia & Dr. Nnenna Ifeanyi-Ajufo (School of Law, Swansea University).

Panellists will provide unique insights on the strengths and limitations of current responses to cybercrime victimisation, as well as recommendations on how to improve the victim response. Each speaker will have 5 minutes to contribute their opening remarks, followed by a roundtable discussion, audience contributions and Q&A.
