The dark web — the anonymous underbelly of the internet — is home to illicit drug and malware markets, extremist discussion forums and child abuse imagery sites. Law enforcement monitors and attempts to police this environment, often successfully commandeering sites, taking them offline and making the occasional arrest.
This talk will unpack how law enforcement engages with crime on the dark web, assess how effective these efforts are and point to the factors inhibiting effective policing.
Presented by Eric Jardine, a CIGI fellow and assistant professor of political science at Virginia Tech. Eric researches measurement issues in cybersecurity, the uses and abuses of the dark web, and how the introduction of new security technologies can paradoxically produce higher levels of insecurity. He is the co-author of the book Look Who’s Watching: Surveillance, Treachery and Trust Online.
