The National Resource Center on Cybercrimes Against Individuals Program (NRCC Program) (CFDA #16.061) supports the establishment and maintenance of a national resource center to provide resource information, training, and technical assistance to improve the capacity of individuals, organizations, governmental entities, and communities to prevent, enforce, and prosecute cybercrimes against individuals. Cybercrimes against individuals are defined as criminal offenses that involve the use of a computer to harass, threaten, stalk, extort, coerce, cause fear to, or intimidate an individual, or without consent distribute intimate images of an adult, except that use of a computer need not be an element of the offense. (See 34 U.S.C. §§ 30107(a)(2) and 30108(a)(1)). Cybercrimes against individuals do not include the use of a computer to cause harm to a commercial entity, government agency or nonnatural person. Note: The term computer incudes a computer network and an interactive electronic device.
