This course’s primary goal is to introduce students to the basic vocabulary and ideas used by cybercriminologists and other social scientists. These goals will be met in four ways:

We will explore the most common types of cybercrimes.  Cybercrimes can be roughly divided into four categories – cybertrespass, cyberpornography, cyberviolence, and cyberdeception. Critique some of the significant debates surrounding cybercrime. Society’s understanding of what should be prohibited, how we should investigate, and how we should prosecute cybercrime are continuously being negotiated by groups in society.  Our social world is socially constructed, and cybercrime issues are no different. Discuss the impacts of cybercrimes on individuals and families.  While cybersecurity courses may focus more on corporations’ and governments’ concerns and how to protect the data within them, a cybercrime course focuses more on how everyday people are victimized. 

What I learned
I learned that cyber is a lot more than just computer security. It deals with organized crime, cybertrespass, cyberviolence, cyberterrorism and much more. The course has taught me to better understand each one of these topics discussed.

The significance of CRJS 310 was to expand and better my knowledge across multiple types of cyberviolence. This will help me by connecting work across all disciplines to help me figure out solutions and actions to take when dealing with different types of cyber related problems. This helps the overall message of my portfolio because it shows my simple but effective take. This course also helped me improve my writing skills.
