Released by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace‘s Technology and International Affairs Program (TIA) and highlighted by the Homeland Security Digital Library, this report explores current cybercrime threats and potential ways to measure the success of technical takedowns. This report also examines the evolution of the practice among U.S. and allied law enforcement agencies (LEAs), noting an upward trend in collaboration. The report addresses the need to move beyond a military-centric approach to countering transnational cybercrime and instead argues for more parity in resourcing for LEAs. It also explains the necessity of working with commercial and private partners while acknowledging the hurdles to more robust cooperation. To conclude, it poses the major policy questions that can guide and enhance the benefits of more assertive LEAs in cyberspace. This publication incorporates reflections from in-person and virtual interviews conducted from autumn 2023 through spring 2024 with dozens of current and former Western LEA and government officials, legal scholars, cybersecurity practitioners, and civil society researchers in relevant fields.

Published by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), this article discusses the findings of several domestic radicalization studies that cover a range of individual and network-centered risk and protective factors that affect radicalization processes (including online environments and military involvement). In addition, the article explores which factors shape the longevity of radicalization processes and their variation by group structure and crime type. It also examines which factors affect pathways away from domestic extremism. The article concludes with a discussion of how these findings can inform terrorism prevention strategies, criminal justice policy, and community-based prevention programming.
