    Webinar: “Understanding the Dark Web: Challenges & Case Studies for Justice Professionals”

Online environments present new opportunities for criminals, as physical contact is reduced and more daily activity (particularly financial) takes place on the internet. Even then, there is a specific portion of the internet in which there has been significant criminal enterprise—the Dark Web.
