(a) Definitions
A "computer" includes a computer network and any interactive electronic device. "Cybercrime against individuals" means what section 30107 says it means.
(b) National strategy
The Attorney General must build a national strategy to: (1) reduce how often cybercrimes against individuals happen; (2) coordinate federal agencies' investigations of these crimes; (3) increase the number of federal prosecutions of these crimes; and (4) create a way to measure victimization rates and prosecution rates in Tribal and culturally specific communities.
(c) Classification of cybercrimes against individuals for purposes of crime reports
Using existing authority under section 534 of title 28, the FBI Director must: (1) create a category for cybercrimes against individuals within the Uniform Crime Reports; (2) where possible, break that category into subcategories for each type of cybercrime that is a federal or state offense; (3) classify the whole category as a serious "Part I crime" in the Uniform Crime Reports; and (4) classify each specific type of cybercrime offense as a "Group A offense" in the National Incident-Based Reporting System.
(d) Annual summary
The Attorney General must publish a yearly summary of the cybercrime data reported through the Uniform Crime Reports and the National Incident-Based Reporting System. This summary must evaluate how well the national strategy from subsection (b) is being carried out and measure its effect on Tribal and culturally specific communities.
