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

The area of criminal justice involves activities before, during, and after the commission of a crime.  Cybercrime is illegal acts utilizing the computer as the source. The overlap is that both include illegal acts. While cybercrime utilizes computers, the end results are still against the law, such as fraud, identity theft, and others. Since criminal justice encompasses activities before, during, and after the act there are different disciplines that can be related to the overlap. Cybersecurity is one that is related due to the prevention of the crime taking place. Another overlap between criminal justice and cybercrime would be that certain white-collar crimes would be considered cybercrimes and vice versa. Both white collar crimes and cybercrimes are handled by specific police units or cybercrime units/ digital forensics units that are specifically trained in that area. Another similarity between cybercrimes and white collar crimes is that both have a large amount of unreported crime because victims do not know how to report the crime or do not want to report it. You can see the dark figure of crime in a lot of different crimes whether it is committed through cybercrime or on the streets, and most of the time it is because the victims do not even know they were victimized til it is too late.
