🚨 Crime is threatening to create lawless spaces. Europol's new concept paper looks at how police can establish an online presence. 🌐 With European Union citizens spending up to half of their waking hours online, criminals are increasingly abusing this domain. To prevent online communities from becoming lawless spaces, police forces will have to establish an online presence. Based on practical experience collected from partners across the EU, paired with academic insight and the discussion of wider societal trends, the new concept paper delivers not only a situational snapshot but a set of guiding principles.

What role do women police officers play in the fight against terrorism? To answer this question, INTERPOL brought together 70 women police officers from 11 countries across the Middle East and North & West Africa at this year’s Women in Counter Terrorism workshop in Tunis. Over four days, officers from a variety of ranks came together to learn from one another through a series of impactful sessions. Highlights included a panel on the UN Women, Peace & Security Agenda, as well as a mentoring course on crime scene investigation following terrorist attacks, leading to valuable exchanges on the methods used in different regions. Participants also shared inspiring case studies showcasing the work done by, and for, women in Iraq, Ghana, Lebanon and Tunisia. As Madelyn McTague, INTERPOL Assistant Director Counter Terrorism Operations pro tempore, told participants, “Bringing together these officers from across the Middle East and Africa, we proved that when women lead in counter terrorism, solutions grow stronger, networks grow deeper and the future grows safer.” Hosted by the Tunisian Ministry of Interior, the workshop was funded by Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada and the German Federal Foreign Office. In her remarks, Hejer Elleuch, Director Security Pole for the Fight against Terrorism and Organized Crime urged participants to, “Encourage women in security forces to go further. Never stop learning, take all the opportunities you have to learn and grow.”

Unlike the neutral term homicide, femicide exposes the gendered power, control and inequality behind many killings of women. But across the EU, inconsistent definitions mean many femicides stay hidden in general homicide data. EIGE is changing that.    We’ve proposed a classification system to better capture the reality of femicide - from intimate partner violence to honour killings and organised crime. 👀 Swipe to better understand the different types.    Learn more in our report: https://lnkd.in/ewzEEpfT
