Criminal justice and cybercrime overlap more and more as technology grows and advances our world every day, every day someone has to come in contact with some type of technology. With more technology, there is more room for crime to occur because of different bank accounts, online business scams, embezzling money. The internet helps make cybercrime an easy route for committing crimes online rather than committing them in person. At first, there were no laws stating what is and isn’t a crime until the year of 1978 when Florida became the first state to develop the computer crime law, which led to the federal government and other states getting on board with the new law. Computer crime laws are a broad range of different criminal offenses used on some form of technology if that be a cellphone, computer, or tablet. The law is changed and brought up to date throughout the year’s technological advances and new bylaws need to be updated while technology has become so helpful on one hand but dangerous on another hand with malicious activity being able to be done in one’s home. Our lives nowadays are all about the technology we rely on for everything for completing simple tasks such as reading, cleaning, and organizing. We have speakers that now can talk to us and have voice recognition such as the echo dot, which helps with reminding the individual of important tasks needed to be done during the day, and then we have apps that help organize our different work or school-related documents. Last but not least we rely on mobile bank apps for convenience when checking our bank account balance and also other apps to help with saving and spending but all of these different apps and objects we use daily have to do with technology and have access to our sensitive information which could put an individual at risk. So in conclusion criminal justice and cybercrime are overlapping because criminal justice is needed to keep the internet a safe place for users and make sure justice is served when the cybercrime is committed.
