Specifically, the analysis develops two aspects: an analysis of how new technologies are reshaping criminal typologies, dynamics and trends; and analysis of the most important challenges that legislation, law enforcement and science have to face in order to prevent and combat Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)-related crime. From the methodological perspective, each section opens with a specific question and develops by trying to find a suitable answer. The paper starts by analysing what impact new technologies have on society and crime. It continues by examining how criminal patterns are changing (How does ICT facilitate the commission of new and traditional crimes?) and who these criminals are (Are criminals really going cyber?). It ends by focusing on the other side, on how crime is prevented and combated (How are technologies reshaping the approach and the fight against crime at legal, law enforcement and scientific levels?). The analysis and the results achieved show that new technologies are valuable means in the hand of both criminals and institutions involved in the fight against crime. There is thus an urgent need to improve knowledge about the phenomena, and develop new paradigms and theories together with best practies.  vV.10,n.1d2004pp.3-26tEuropean Journal on Criminal Policy and ResearchcLondon  aNOVAS TECNOLOGIAS   aCRIMINALIDADE   aCRIMINALIDADE INFORMÁTICA  aCOOPERAÇÃO INTERNACIONAL   aCOMBATE À CRIMINALIDADE  aSAVONAbErnesto U.   aMIGNONEbMara  jP.275
