The US Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is sponsoring a project in collaboration with Boston University, the Anti-Human Trafficking Intelligence Initiative (ATII), The University of Texas at San Antonio, Endicott College, and WestEd. The project aims to train state and local law enforcement agencies in new techniques to combat cybercrime, online child abuse, and sex trafficking. The program will introduce new dimensions in IoT forensics and cryptocurrency tracking investigation techniques and prepare law enforcement agencies to identify evidence of dark web dissemination of child sexual abuse material through cryptocurrency transactions.
