In our current time period it seems that the overlap between criminal justice and cybercrime has become more apparent as cyber technology and the internet becomes more of a norm in our lives. Criminal activity and organizations have seemingly found the internet a safe haven for their offenses and as such the need for cooperation between cybersecurity experts and law enforcement. Cybercrime is characterized as illegal behavior conducted on cyber technology which can commonly be used as a form of protest or to damage an organization. With the definition in mind it can be understood that those studying criminal justice work hand in hand with those in the cybersecurity field to understand and find ways to prevent cybercrime. Experts in criminal justice often cite the field as a multidisciplinary one and so they work to designate cybercrime experts as a part of their field which has moved slowly in the past few years but is significant to understanding its relation nonetheless. But how does the overlap between cybercrime and criminal justice possibly relate to the other cybersecurity disciplines? It is important to understand that cybersecurity is a developing field and is characterized as a field devoted to prevention of attacks while criminal justice is similarly devoted to the prevention of criminal offenses so as such those following the research and development of those disciplines may use data and techniques refined in cybercrime research to refine their own fields. For example, those in the sociological cybersecurity field may use the conclusions used by cybercrime based criminal justice researchers to better refine their understanding of why crime happens in the first place . It is important to understand that cyber crime, and the understanding of it, has been built into cybercrime and although I mention at the beginning that it is apparent it has also been apparent that the line between cyber and physical crime has definitely thinned.
