Investigating, pursuing, and preventing crimes that take place online are all aspects of criminal justice and cybercrime overlapping fields. Hacking, identity theft, cyberstalking, and phishing schemes are just a few examples of criminal conduct known as “cybercrime,” which involves the use of technology. The frequency and complexity of these crimes are rising, necessitating the need for law enforcement organizations and criminal justice experts to have a good grasp on both established methods of the justice system and contemporary developments in technology. Cybercrime and criminal justice intersect in ways that are related to the other topics we’ve covered in class, including computer science, psychology, and sociology. Psychology and sociology aid in our understanding of the motivations behind these crimes and how they affect both individuals and society as a whole, while computer science provides the technical expertise required to identify and trace cybercriminals. Legal and policy challenges also arise when criminal justice and cybercrime intersect. Laws and regulations must be revised as cybercrime spreads to reflect new dangers and safeguard victims’ rights. For instance, regulations governing cyberstalking, revenge porn, and other online offenses that did not exist before the internet era may need to be amended. The need for international coordination and cooperation is highlighted by the intersection between criminal justice and cybercrime. In order to properly investigate and prosecute cybercriminals, law enforcement agencies and governments from all around the world must work together. The overlap is significant and requires and interdisciplinary approach to effectively safeguard information. It is of the utmost necessity that cybersecurity professionals have an understanding of how cybercrime works and how to protect against it.
