About this publication series: The Cybercrime Judicial Monitor (CJM) is published yearly and distributed to judicial and law enforcement authorities active in the field of combating cyber-dependent and cyber-enabled crime. It is produced on the basis of expert input provided by members of the European Judicial Cybercrime Network.

The structure of the CJM has evolved over time. Earlier editions contained four main sections. The first section covered legislative developments in the area of cybercrime, cyber-enabled crime and electronic evidence. The judicial analysis section presented brief summaries of court rulings in various EU Member States and non-EU countries. The third section covered the developments within the EU during the past year in relation to data retention. Finally, the last section was dedicated to a specific topic of interest in the field.

The eleventh issue of the CJM introduced a refreshed and more streamlined structure, focusing on key legislative and policy developments at the EU, international and national levels in the areas of cybercrime, e-evidence gathering, crypto-assets and artificial intelligence, followed by an overview of relevant judicial decisions in these fields. In addition, a dedicated chapter continues to examine developments related to data retention.
