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

I think there is a lot of overlap between criminal justice and cybercrime. Criminal justice is defined as the delivery of justice to those who have been accused of committing crimes. The basic goal of criminal justice is to rehabilitate offenders, help aid in the prevention of other crimes, provide moral support and care for victims, and to study why certain crimes are committed. Cybercrime is another, newer aspect of crime and therefor, is a part of criminal justice itself. Cybercrime is much more niche than general, more traditional forms of crime. With this in mind, it took a while for the criminal justice system to catch up to new technology and the ways criminals would take advantage of everchanging technology to commit crimes. The basics of the criminal justice system overlap into the fundamentals of cybersecurity, especially with legalities, liabilities and mitigating further crime / damage to the public or a private entity. The standard for cybersecurity is put together by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) are very similar to the fundamental goals of criminal justice. The core five functions of NIST are Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. You could apply these functions to the general objectives of the criminal justice system and get similar results. In my opinion, it is impossible to separate the main aspects of cybersecurity from criminal justice in general. By separating one or the other from each other, you will have an incomplete and vulnerable system, and you will be missing a major piece of the full picture. There is a lot professionals can learn from each field, no matter how different their positions may be. For example, a police officer can learn a lot from a digital forensics investigator, despite their job functions being different. There is still so much overlap in their general fields. Communication between departments is critical to reducing the rate of crime.
