Objectives:
The purpose of this article is to attempt to identify methods of counteracting cybercrime that would effectively discourage cybercriminals from continuing their activities and structure them in a form allowing to choose potential options available for law enforcement. This article aims to prove the thesis that a significant reduction in cybercrime is achievable; however, it requires undertaking radical legislative changes and adapting the legal system to the dynamically evolving threats in cyberspace. The inspiration for this article came from observations made during a research internship that the author undertook at one of a European police unit specializing in combating cybercrime.

Methods:
Presented article is of a theoretical and analytical nature and is based on the application of methods appropriate to the social sciences, particularly the security sciences. The methodological objective was to examine possible means of effectively counteracting cybercrime, drawing on real-world incidents observed in various countries. The research was conducted on the basis of an analysis of secondary sources of knowledge, employing a qualitative approach.

Results:
A Law-enforcement Operations for Cybercrime Attribution, Takedown and Elimination (L0CATE) matrix

Conclusions:
Provided examples, sorted within the L0cate framework highlight that a significant reduction in cybercrime is achievable as stated in the thesis. However, it would require undertaking a number radical legislative changes and adapting the legal system to the dynamically evolving threats in cyberspace.
