The use of computer technologies is essential for everyday life. BUT just as computer technologies, devices and networking have been expanded, cybercrime has expanded too.
With increasing activities on the Internet, cybercrime is becoming an important study area. This criminology course explores the history, nature, and patterns of cybercrime, introducing students to its criminological study.
You will look at a series of examples and case studies of Internet-related crime which will highlight the diversity of cybercrime as well as its prevention and detection.
During the course you will explore contemporary issues and academic debates such as:
• The theoretical cybercrime framework (e.g., definitions, victims, and offenders)
• The motivation behind cybercrime (e.g., financial, personal, and political)
• Cybercrime means and methods (e.g., malware, platforms, and pathways)
• Cybersecurity and policing virtual spaces and cybercrimes (e.g., digital forensics and biometrics)
• Cybercrime trends and future directions (e.g., surveillance and data trade, AI, robots, and drones).
Dr Tine Munk - Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Criminal Justice.
