FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 11521

I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 27^th March 2019. Please find below the response to your request:

I'm looking for Cyber Crime related incidents including revenge porn, harassment, online scams, child soliciting and abuse online, blackmail,  theft, identity theft, hacking, malicious software, copyright infringement. Any incidents that are deemed Cyber Crime as they were committed online.

I'm simply looking for the amount of these incidents have occurred over the past 5 years, with details on what the incident was (e.g. hacking), the age and gender of the complainant and defendant. If incident resulted in arrest, warrant and or conviction.

Lastly I'd like this to be compared to the national average per year on the amount of incidents.

REPLY:  Please see attached Tables.

The flag for Cyber Crime is not always recorded so the actual number of crimes may be higher. Event Descriptions have been provided so the crimes can be broken down.

In relation to a comparison to the national average, this information is not held.
