This paper examines Europol's sharing economy governance model to enhance public-private
partnerships. The empirical analysis is based on three major cybercrime areas: ransomware,
crypto-laundering, and online child sexual exploitation, where Europol has been intermediating
between public and private actors for efficient resource exchange. The core argument is that the
organisational structure of Europol's sharing economy platforms differ from one crime area to
another. The interaction between law enforcement agencies, private companies, and victims also
occur in different combinations. However, as in private-sector examples, every platform
associated with Europol needs technological infrastructure for efficient resource sharing.
