The overlap between criminal justice and cybercrime is committing the crime on the internet. Rather that just walking outside on the street and committing a crime. This information is clear in the article written by Sinca. (Sinca, 2015). I think cybercriminals are feel secure due to the fact that they are committing their crimes from sitting in front of a computer. I think another part of the overlap is not being physically seen committing crimes of hacking, phishing, and malware attacks. Consider this example, when you commit a crime outside, majority of the time you are being filmed by some type of camera. The cameras play a vital role in the prosecution of criminals. The objective changes drastically when you are using a computer. For example, you are not being filmed. Due to not being seen on camera it can take longer to apprehend the criminal. Also, cybercriminals can hide behind the codes hackers use to keep from being located. This overlap relates to many other topics we have covered such as cryptography, white-collar crimes, types of attacks on networks, protection of businesses, and improper workplace practices. All the topics previously covered and the ones not mentioned relate to the overlap because they go hand in hand. I say that they go hand in hand because we have to know what the criminal injustices are committed to protect ourselves, businesses, identity, and our networks. The topics learn thus far helped me to understand the importance of the damage that occurs by cybercriminals. It is beneficial to have situational awareness of cybercrimes. This situational awareness keep the honest individuals honest. The honest individuals can apprehend the criminals.
