What is the overlap between criminal justice and cybercrime? How does this overlap relate to the other disciplines discussed in this class?

There is much overlap between criminal justice and cyber crime, as cyber crimes grow to be one of the most common offenses taking place both personally and against companies, proper collaboration between these fields are important. A large portion of major cyber crime events that happen in the current day are data breaches of big companies where clientele personal data gets leaked, this can lead to things like identity theft and lost trust within the company. It is often a subject of debate on how responsible a company is at securing the data that has been breached and to understand the level of negligence a company has committed, prosecutes must be informed on proper practices that may have been neglected when sentencing punishments. There is also much collaboration between cyber crime experts and criminal justice experts in tracking behaviors of cyber criminals, who is most vulnerable to what attacks, and how these criminals get tracked down so they can be prosecuted. The overlap between criminal justice and cyber crime is similar on the prosecution aspect is similar to how cyber crime and computer science relate to each other on the defense aspect. Research into cyber crime is important when developing new hardware and software as it is their responsibility to at least come up with ways to protect systems against commonly known threats. Often day zero vulnerabilities arise through back doors in software programs that allow attackers to navigate around security applications, knowing processes that these viruses and attackers use to gain access to systems are imperative to be aware of when building programs. Cyber crime also relates to leadership largely in the implementation of security frameworks. As most vulnerabilities are caused by human error, it is the leaderships responsibility to work with security professionals on construction of safe and unsafe practices and teach employees so that they are aware of how they can also prevent cyber events.
