Based on the reading by Ida Oesteraas the current and future aspects of cybercrime are different than what traditional criminal law is used too. A challenge that is often presented is jurisdictional issues. You can be as anonymous as you want online therefore giving investigators a hard time locating where the crime is happening and how to go about future prosecution. I feel like a crime that has been more difficult is hate crimes. In current day like minded groups can find each other and not only do heinous things but hide behind a screen and create a cyberbullying campaign. The anonymity of it all, plus the fine line of free speech makes this extremely hard to prosecute digitally.

The lag or gap between criminal justice and cybersecurity can be explained by the fast pace advancement of technology and the difficulty in combining the sciences, social and technological. Now in mainstream criminal justice the integration of cyber is moving along. More public colleges are offering cyber courses in criminal justice degrees and vice versa.

The Cyber Crime, Ethics, and Law course would be able to help bridge the gap. The course helps teach about the social sciences, how people work, how criminals and morals work, and how that all goes into the filter of the law. The course still integrates cyber into every piece of the social science you’re learning allowing you to keep the two educational fields in tandem.

In conclusion, I feel like the justice system should absolutely focus on cyber units. Retraining regular officers on a very specialized part of the job makes me feel like things would be getting consistently missed. Having constant cyber units patrolling and responding would allow for all bases to be covered criminal justice wise.
