Summary

The Dark Web is the content of the internet that can only be accessed by using specialized browsers. Users must use specific software, configurations, and authorization to browse this hidden part of the World Wide Web. Responses to Dark Web crime are more efficient, coordinated, and effective when they are collaborative and multidisciplinary in their problem-solving. By thoroughly investigating the Dark Web’s ecosystem, this book will propose and analyze a cross-sector system for combating crime on the Dark Web more effectively. The next chapter extensively reviews the existing literature in order to identify gaps and answer the research question. Great emphasis is given to the Dark Web’s most common types of cybercrimes as well as to the Dark Web’s ecosystem.
