What if cybercrime could be stopped before it happens? Using data from the FBI Internet Crime Report this project adapts predictive policing, traditionally used for physical crimes, to analyze cybercrime data, uncovering patterns in who is targeted and how. Focusing on high-risk groups, especially adults aged 60 and older, reveals not only key vulnerabilities but also actionable prevention strategies. The goal is to help law enforcement strategies and public education to create a safer digital world. Early results show older adults face higher risks, but solutions exist. Let’s shift from reaction to prevention.
