Why a survey?

The Department of Justice and Multimedia Victoria have sponsored
this independent research conducted by researchers at the University
of Melbourne to learn more about how the private sector responds to
crime involving nformation technology and how police can work with
the private sector to lessen the impact of these crimes. Victoria Police
supports the research and is participating in other stages.

The results of this study will be communicated to government, business
and law enforcement to inform policy about partnerships between the
private sector and law enforcement via this website.

Who should fill in this questionnaire?

Responses from all industry sectors are sought. Responses may come
from any level within an organisation, although the views of senior
managers are sought especially. If you cannot answer any question in
the survey, we would appreciate you passing the questionnaire to a
person in your workplace who can. Participation in this survey is
voluntary, and your completion of the questionnaire is appreciated greatly.

 ALL INFORMATION WILL BE TREATED IN THE STRICTEST CONFIDENCE

We intend to protect your anonymity and the confidentiality of your
responses to the fullest possible extent, within the limits of the law. Do
