As requested in the Better Cybercrime Metrics Act, P.L. 117-116, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will convene an ad hoc committee to develop a taxonomy for the purpose of measuring different types of cybercrime, including both cyber-enabled and cyber-dependent crimes faced by individuals and businesses, and consider needs for its periodic revision. As part of its information gathering, the study will:

• Consult with relevant stakeholders, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the Department of Homeland Security; Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies; and other government entities involved with the investigation or monitoring of cyber-enabled or cyber-dependent crimes; criminologists and academics; cybercrime and cybersecurity experts; victims of cybercrime; and business leaders and
• Consider relevant taxonomies and metrics developed by non-governmental organizations, international organizations, academies, or other entities.

The study report will provide conclusions and recommendations for a taxonomy that can be used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Justice Statistics to measure cyber-enabled and cyber-dependent crimes in the National Incident-Based Reporting System, the National Crime Victimization Survey, or any successor systems.
