The International Conference on CyberCrime and Computer Forensics (ICCCF) is being held at Simon Fraser University’s Harbour Centre campus in downtown Vancouver, B.C., from 12-14 June 2016. Simon Fraser University is co-hosting the ICCCF 2016 in cooperation with the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the Asia Pacific Association of Technology and Society (APATAS). To date, we have received abstracts and/or papers from fifteen different countries, representing five different continents.
Keynote speakers for ICCCF 2016 include Benoit Dupont, Scientific Director of Smart Security Network, from the University of Montreal; Thomas Holt, an internationally recognized computer hacking and malware researcher from the University of Michigan; Michael Levi, Professor of Criminology in the School of Social Sciences at Cardiff University in the United Kingdom; and Gary Perkins, the Executive Director and Chief Information Security Officer for the Information Security Branch of the B.C. Government.
A block of 60 rooms has been set aside at the Delta Vancouver Suites Hotel, which is immediately adjacent to the SFU Harbour Centre conference facilities. Room rates are $199 a night, considered very attractive for a centrally located, four star hotel in downtown Vancouver. These rooms will be released to conference delegates on a first come, first served basis.
Please note that the final call for abstracts closes on February 14, 2016. Authors wishing to have their papers considered for publication in IEEE XPlore Digital Library will eventually be required to submit a full paper (within a month of notification of acceptance). To submit an abstract, please visit the official conference website at:http://www.apatas.org/icccf/icccf-2016/

Transforming Prisons, Restoring Lives
Final Recommendations of the Charles Colson Task Force on Federal Corrections
The Charles Colson Task Force on Federal Corrections is a nine-person, bipartisan, blue-ribbon panel created by Congress to examine challenges in the federal corrections system and develop practical, data-driven solutions. Informed by over a year of fact-finding, rigorous data analysis, and testimony from and discussions with key experts and stakeholders, the independent Task Force’s recommendations to the US Congress, the President, and the Attorney General provide a blueprint for reforms to the federal corrections system that are sensible, cost-effective strategies to reduce the federal prison population, and enhance public safety.
