For the past few years, APATAS has organized the International Cybercrime and Computer Forensics conference at various locations throughout Asia.  In 2016, our 4th annual ICCCF is moving for the first time to Vancouver, Canada in 2016. North America has been a pioneer in cybercrime research, policy and practice since the mid-1980s.  As expected, we have witnessed increasing technological developments in both personal computing and in smart-phone and wireless devices that have had an impact on how technology-enabled crimes have been committed in the Asia Pacific region and beyond.  One of the key approaches to understanding such crime is through research and incorporating the outcome of research into policy and practice.  The 4th Annual ICCCF 2016 Vancouver, BC, Canada therefore focuses its discussion on ‘Cybercrime: Linking Research, Policy, and Practice.’
