Cyber technology has impacted interaction between offenders and victims permanently. The fact that someone can be anonymous and doing illegal acts and no face to put the crime to is frightening. I would say for the most part cyber technology has negatively affected the interaction between offenders and victims because the offenders may have a thought that the online aspect of it all doesn’t apply to the real-world consequences. The victims are in just as bad of a spot because it may be harder to track down someone who is committing crimes using technology with the help of software that might make them hard to find or anonymous. One example that I can think of that cyber technology impacts between the offenders and victims is robbery. In today’s world it is likely that someone could get ahold of your online banking info and take whatever they please without you knowing for some point of time. In the real world, robberies are a much scarier and intense process because most of the time the robber is armed and threatening the people they are trying to rob from so they influence them to give up whatever they are requesting quickly.

The approach to cyber policy should be straight forward, there should be policy prohibiting acts with bad intentions and illegal components. The one thing that should happen if policy is not followed should be prohibition from the use of certain technology depending on the severity of what happened and if that got to a certain point then obviously police would be involved. The infrastructure should consist of a system that would collect data of what policies are being completely ignored/abused and what policies are upholding their value and when certain data starts to change those polices can then be modified to adhere to that new set of data.
