The European Review of Organised Crime Practitioner's insight Policing Crime and Terrorism in Cyberspace: An Overview Stan Gilmour* Abstract: Cyber security has become pivotal in contemporary policing discourse. However, law enforcement’s capacity to deal with new technology-led security threats is still limited, especially when it comes to the Internet. This contribution, by relying on the UK’s experience, seeks some common ground in order to make discussions and thought processes about cybercrime and cyber terrorism a much more straightforward endeavour. It presents some of the key issues and challenges that law enforcement will come to face in the new online environment, provides a brief overview of existing approaches to cyber security, and offers a reflection on the potential for law enforcement to operate in cyberspace. Keywords: Cybercrime; Cyber Terrorism; Policing; Investigations; Internet; Cyberspace *Stan Gilmour is a Detective superintendent for Thames Valley Police, UK.
