Cyber crime is a behavior that tends to go against the law. Cybercrime tends to be defined as illegal behavior, with no legal defense or justification, and offenders that do these illegal behaviors can be punished. The sociological definition behind Cybercrime is what society defines as what is wrong, regardless if it is legal or not. 

Cybercrimes can be committed in different ways than before. Some examples of these crimes are Fraud and Bullying. With the amount of information that is on the internet at any given time, all it takes is for one flaw in a system for millions of individual’s personal information, such as Social Security, IP’s, emails and phone numbers, to be stolen and leaked across the world, leaving them to attacks to do more harm. Bullying has also evolved in a way that it was in the past. Not only does Bullying still happen in person, on school, at work, even at home, it can now also target individuals wherever they go because of social media being in everyone’s pocket. 

Criminal justice is  the basic laws that agencies hold to make criminals accountable whenever they break the law, and cause issues for others. Criminal justice and cybercrime both end up overlapping because criminal justice is the other side of cybercrime, the side that tries to restore lives and quell problems all over the internet. 

Another discipline that can be related from this overlapping is the talk of hackers and cyber security. Cybercrime’s ranges from many different ways of hurting others, which is what cybersecurity is made to protect, that being it’s users that rely on it. cybersecurity is a form of protection from online crime as in it is saving data from being stolen easily. This can also relate to criminal justice as once the hackers or cyber crime has taken place and failed, the justice system can go after these criminals, and hopefully hold them accountable for their actions.
