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

What is the overlap between Criminal Justice and Cybercrime? The overlap connection between criminal Justice and cybercrime would be technology and digital Forensics. What are Digital Forensics? Digital Forensics is a branch of science that examines, investigates and analyzes the digital evidence that is found on devices. How is Digital Forensics used in Cybercrime? The Digital Forensics is used like a GPS in Cybercrime to track down someone’s location or hidden data that could possibly hold Vidal information. How is Digital Forensics used in the Criminal Justice? In Criminal Justice used Forensics and the process of elimination to narrow down suspects and discover possible evidence of what occurred. Both in Criminal Justice and Cybercrime also use technology and computer as a tool very often to conduct investigation, examinations, discover information that might help lead us to more contexts to conclude a simple explanation of the crime operation and motivation behind it. Digital Forensics had analyzed the collected data from the investigation to then piece it together and convey the simplified explanation to both court and jury to help give fair trial and an appropriate punishment.

To summarize, Technology or Digital Forensics has helped identify the offenders who had committed many cyber-crimes by using scheming lists of codes and providing implicated policies and legal legislation for repercussions for such deviant acts. In what ways has it become easier to enforce with more advanced and developed technology and legislation? There had been great strides from having no implications or policies to protect others from experiencing cyber stalking and harassment due to lacking the technology to track and keep record of such crimes till now. Risk Management and identity management helped me understand the issues in order to provide security, develop a better algorithm and improve the accuracy of the system and finally be able to safely transfer data. The point as to why I talked about these functions is to shine light on their purpose and how it enables us to have somewhat of a sense of security of information like setting boundaries, accelerating growth of our technology and has been proved to be an asset to regulate the laws in the United States.
