As a fellow Criminal Justice major, cybersecurity has a lot to do with my major. Since everyone basically lives their lives on the internet, it’s easy for the criminal to be tracked down. Everything done online can be tracked. Being able to hack into a computer after catching someone who is shopping on the dark web or on sites they have no business on has to be one of the best upgrades. Most people that get arrested for hacking are hired to do it with the police or Federal Bureau of Investigations in the cybersecurity field. As an example, the movie Catch Me If You Can was based on a true story about a man named Frank Abagnale. He was conning people with fake checks at the age 15. In his early twenties he was arrested multiple times. Because of how good he was at conning people it landed him a job with the FBI for over 30 years. I don’t think cybersecurity is the place for me to be in the FBI, but you have to be well advanced to do that job. Law enforcement services tend to rely on local government information technology to ensure cybersecurity. According to the Department of Justice “the Criminal Division created the Cybersecurity Unit within the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section to serve as a central hub for expert advice and legal guidance regarding how the criminal electronic surveillance and computer fraud and abuse statutes impact cybersecurity. Among the unit’s goals is to ensure that law enforcement authorities are used effectively to bring perpetrators to justice while also protecting the privacy of everyday Americans. In pursuing that goal, the unit is helping to shape cyber security legislation to protect our nation’s computer networks and individual victims from cyber attacks. The unit also engages in extensive outreach to the private sector to promote lawful cybersecurity practices. ”  Cybersecurity now plays a big part in Criminal Justice.
