Engineers make their systems safer through the system security engineering framework. “The framework defines, bounds, and focuses the systems security engineering activities and tasks, both technical and nontechnical, towards the achievement of stakeholder security objectives and presents a coherent, well-formed, evidence-based case that those objectives have been achieved.26 The framework is independent of system type and engineering or acquisition process model and is not to be interpreted as a sequence of flows or process steps but rather as a set of interacting contexts, each with its own checks and balances.” (Ross, Winstead, McEvilley, pp 21) They also have different models for each stage of the system life such as new systems, modifications to systems, dedicated systems, evolution of systems, and retirement of systems. The modifications to system stage is one I found most intriguing being an electrician myself. They perform reactive modifications to fielded systems by responding to adversity such as cyber attacks, errors, incidents, faults, and component failures.
Definitions for both terms will help with clarity with the subject. Oxford dictionary defines “cybercrime as criminal activities carried out by means of computers or the internet” and defines criminal justice as “The legal system used to punish people who have commited crimes.” Just by the defintions we are clearly able to see that the main overlap between the two is how we hold people who are commiting crimes in our evolving technological age under our judicial system. There are many other ways criminal justice and cybercrime overlap, some forms include identity theft and forensics. The overlap between criminal justice and cybercrime relates to other disciplines we have discussed such as engineers and how they make their systems safer. The overlap within their reactive modifications I discussed resemble the overlap because just as engineers create modifications to respond to cyber attacks and incidents; criminal justice must respond by creating systems and catching those who commit cybercrimes to make our future safer.
