1. What is the overlap between criminal justice and cybercrime? How does this overlap relate to the other disciplines discussed in this class?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criminal justice is defined as the delivery of justice to those who have committed crimes and cybercrime is a criminal activity carried out by means of a computer or the internet. Throughout the course of our history crime was committed in person due to the lack of advanced technology at that time. However, in today’s world most dangerous crimes are being committed online. The overlap between cybercrime and criminal justice is more visible than ever. For instance, hacking into a computer and gaining access to and unauthorized sensitive files is a crime punishable by law and can result in jail time. Unlike crimes that take place in person, cybercrimes do more damages and are also harder to capture the criminal. Cybercrime can also happen in person for example getting physical access to the computer and stealing information which again is illegal punishable by law. Cybercrime and criminal justice overlap in a similar way that any sort of embezzling money is not acceptable by law. In today’s world, almost all things are connected to the web including the banking system which is vulnerable to attacks and can lead people to suffer. If caught the cyber-criminal will be charged in court and can get jail time despite the crime taking place online. This overlap can be related to the reading Cybersecurity and Criminal Justice: Exploring the Intersections. It talks about how the advent of the computer has changed the way individuals behave from personal interactions to doing business. Due to the increasing crime through the web cybersecurity and criminal justice will continue to overlap. In addition, this overlap exists in some of the other disciplines discussed in class. For example, when I was taking criminology class, we learned about the white-collar crime which basically refers to financially motivated nonviolent crime committed by businesses and government professionals. Cybercrime is used in the commission of the white-collar crimes of fraud, money laundering, identity theft, and counterfeiting. This creates an overlap with the other disciples discussed in class.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
