Experts will assess how privacy crimes are currently being addressed in the criminal justice system, and explore how society might better respond to them—through new laws, different enforcement practices, education, and other strategies. Panelists include EFF Senior Staff Attorney Hanni Fakhoury.

This half-day conference aims to better define the concept of “privacy crimes,” assess how such crimes are currently being addressed in the criminal justice system, and explore how society might better respond to them—through new laws, different enforcement practices, education, and other strategies. The conference will bring together a variety of stakeholders, including prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, academics, and victims’ advocates to discuss three main questions:

  • What is a ‘Privacy Crime’?
  • What’s Being Done to Enforce Laws Addressing Privacy Crimes?
  • How Should We Balance Privacy Interests in the Criminal Justice System?
