There are multiple ways in which criminal justice and cybercrime can overlap.  If someone commits a crime, they are breaking the law which will result in the pursuit of legal action from state or federal authorities. It is important for investigators to look at the human factors in why cyber criminals chose to do what they do in order to understand how and why they do it. Although not all cybercrimes face the consequences of the criminal justice system, they are no less crimes.  Another overlap between the two fields is that both deal with those who commit identity related crimes.  Identity theft is an illegal act both in the real world of using the physical information stolen in person, as well as data theft of information in the digital world.  Both are pursued and prosecuted through the justice system in the same way.  Since technology has fingers in just about every aspect in our lives, it only makes sense the need for criminal justice to develop a more advanced cybercrime curriculum for students and develop strategies for handling such a broad spectrum this type of crime occupies. The Internet provides a certain level of disassociation and anonymity to such a crime and can be committed from the comfort of one’s own home. One such crime is identity theft where a person deliberately steals someone else’s identity and (possibly) their financial information and use it for personal gain. Cybercrime and criminal justice overlap is very similar to when we read about black hats. Black hats are illegal hackers which steal information from companies or individuals. Blackhat’s if caught are charged in court and can get jail time even though they committed the crime through the web. This overlap can be related to the reading about crimes and how criminal justice programs in the country don’t involve cyber security in their curriculum even though more and more crimes are being committed online.
