Studying cybersecurity undoubtedly requires an interdisciplinary approach and viewpoint that includes the study of criminal justice and criminology. Cybercrime is a class of crime that utilizes the exploitation of computers, technology, and the internet to carry out illegal acts. In module 2, it was discussed that criminology and criminal justice raise the questions that cover how we should detect criminal offenses, what punishment is appropriate, how authorities should respond, who is committing crimes, why they’re committing these crimes and more. Criminal justice and cybercrime overlap in a number of ways; one way in specific that criminal justice and cybercrime overlap is in the workforce. Criminal justice and criminology graduates are able to explore careers in cybercrime because they have the foundation necessary to be successful in specific cyber related roles. Additionally, criminal justice and cybercrime overlap through trying to explore and understand the causes of offending and victimization. With the ever-growing use of technology, cybercrime has become all the more common, and that calls on the need to examine why criminals are committing their offenses, and why they’re choosing to victimize who they do. The neutralization theory is a widely discussed criminological theory that suggests that offenders try to rationalize their illegal actions before committing them. Offenders might try to rationalize their wrong doings by arguing that the victim deserved it, no one was physically harmed, they’re acting for a broader group, and more. There are still a handful of other ways that criminal justice and cybercrime overlap and are interrelated and this overlap can also relate to the discipline of sociology. In relation to cybersecurity, sociology examines how social influences affect and shape cyber offending.
