For entire classes of online crime, from a purely data perspective I wonder if providing a way to anonymously report a crime would help? Things like extortion, cheating spouses, lewd photos, revenge porn tend to be quite embarrassing, and perhaps pursuing justice isn't worth getting exposed. But knowing names, emails, patterns, and other details might help at least paint a better picture of the true nature of online crime.
