Cybercrime is an ever growing part of the criminal justice system. As the internet expands and online systems become more and more frequent more crimes are taking place through online means. This being said, the criminal justice system deals with crimes so we are seeing a rise in cases relating to these cybercrimes. This overlap relates heavily to cybersecurity. While the criminal justice system works to get justice for the cybercrimes that are occuring cybersecurity professionals are trying to prevent it from happening in the first place. Most cybercrime occurs when a hacker gets information they shouldn’t have and uses it in malicious ways, usually for financial gain. This is where the criminal justice system would step in and charge the person for their crimes. Cybersecurity professionals however try and stop the crime from happening in the first place. It is their job to protect the systems they are hired to, so it would be in their best interest to not allow these crimes to happen in the first place. The criminal justice system only gets involved if the hacker can get past the cybersecurity team and the other systems in place within cyberspace to stop them and they are successful in their attempts at getting information. In conclusion there is a clear overlap in cybercrime and the criminal justice system however not every case of cybercrime will go to the criminal justice system. If they are stopped by cybersecurity professionals, cybersecurity systems, or are successful but can’t be tracked down. These are ways in which this overlap relates to other topics.
