'The Crackdown' is the fourth studio album by Cabaret Voltaire. It was released in 1984 and was the first album after Chris Watson's departure.

"One of Cabaret Voltaire's strongest albums, 'The Crackdown' features the band working a number of menacing electronic textures into a basic dance / funk rhythm; the result is one of their most distinctive, challenging records." - All Music
